Congratulations Team Mac OS X - #1 Mac Folding Team

[jethroted]

You output is simply amazing! I checked the stats and it says 9 active processors , what in the heck are they? Man if our team had a bunch more of those Team Mac OS X Rumors would rock!

Keep up the good work!

I can tell you that there are hundreds of computers not only 9!

so the first one is using the .bat file? and the second is just running it?


If you look at the machine ID, it says 4 on one, and 1 on the other... from my understanding, the Machine ID tells it which processor to run on (although I'm sure there is more involved) I would try running it with a machine ID of 1.

Second: I don't know exactly which port F@H uses, but I would start by disabling your firewall and seeing if it works. If it does, that is your biggest problem.

Anyone know what port F@H uses? (I haven't had any trouble....)

The first picture is the .bat file. The second is the normal console version which I downloaded from stanford. I tried everything, so also tried to give it an other number (4 this time, normally it is no. 1). If you download the graphical interface of FAH it says it uses standard port 8080. Also our IT department says that port 8080 is open for every kind of application. And to disable the firewall... That is the problem, I can't do that... There are about 1000 computers connected to our network and I am just a bookkeeper.

I will set it tomorrow on machine ID 1 and see what happens. But even know it should get a WU from Stanford, but it doesn't. And that is my problem! Your .bat file gives more information then the console version does. But it still can't connect to an assignment server...

 

[cjc343]

the "-verbosity 9" tag tells it to output more information to the screen than usual.... the "-advmethods" tells it to try not to get tinkers... athough you still will, you SHOULD get less.

ok... not being able to disable the firewall could be a problem... oh well...


Do you know if you use a proxy server? Did you configure it to use a Proxy server?

Did you change ANY of the options besides User Name and Team when you set the preferences?

Do you know if port 80 is also open to all applications? (It normally is...)

Try loading these pages... all you should see is a blank page, but you shouldn't get any "Couldn't load any data from location" or "404 not found" or any errors at all.

http://assign2.stanford.edu:80/


What version of Windows are you running?

Are you using the F@H console version provided by Stanford, or have you also been using some Windows equivilent of InCrease or Mac68k's scripts?

If you try using the graphical client, do things work?

CJC343, both links are getting errors at my work in internet explorer. Can't load the page it says. I am running windows 2000 at work and running the console version from Stanford. Also tried the graphical client from Stanford, but that was the same story... So, if I understand correctly, our firewall is blocking access to the assignmentservers, right? Something else I also discovered, we have a 50 mb internet connection, but it is really slow... Also you can not listen to internet radio, not through Itunes or any other program. And if you do get through, it is only a matter of days before they block it.

I am willing to try out other folding apps that might work. Does anyone know of any?

want to share the errors you are getting with us?



All folding apps will access the same servers on the same port.

50 MB/s? or 50 Mb/s? (megabyte vs. megabit.... very confusing, but large difference)

This sounds like it is a firewall problem so far. Go talk with your network administrator and ask him/her/it to open up those web addresses using those ports. If they insist that they are, insist that they aren't and show them that you can't load the page.... then tell them that you have asked other people outside the network and they can access it easily.
