WU Uncertainty

[Rav]

I just have this weird feeling like I'm not getting credit for all my WU's.

First let me just make sure I've got this set up right. Basically I just copied in the FAH219 exe and the client.cfg to my two W2K machines (XP 1733, TB 800) and I copied in my name, user ID, etc to my Linux machines client.cfg (PII 400). Is this the right way to do it? Also, the windows client.cfg files have square characters between the entires, that normal?

Someone said something in a previous thread about just copying over and not getting credit all the time, so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

If you simply copy over the client.cfg each machine will have the same idea. You are better off just ditching the client.cfg idea - just enter a username and team(32)
and it will get an id for each machine.

I was always under the impression that if I used the same name but got a differnt ID that I would just be creating a second "Rav" user with seperate stats. So adds stats based on name/team and not ID? Maybe it did that in the 1.x version... Thanks.

Each machine gets a unique ID ie:

Say on system one you put in Rav as the user and 32 as the team. The stats would be attributed to your name and team.
The machine connects to stanford and gets a unique machine ID. By giving each machine a unique ID, stanford can keep track of how many PCs are folding.

Then you go to system two and put in Rav as the user and 32 as the team. The stats would still go to Rav and team 32 but the machine will get a unique ID.

Hope this clears things up.

David is right but he left out that you will not get credit for a lot of the WU's if you use the same config for all of your rigs. It is best to just delete the config files. It will automatically create a new one and ask you for your info. your name team 32 and a couple of connection questions. Good luck and Fold on!!!!
