Nice!! he he he

Always nice to see something that you took on as your pet project get some attention! Thanks!

[Jeff]

Well you did a fantastic job... very professionally done in my opinion. It deserves all the recognition it gets.

Okay...i set up the client on a laptop and entered the same email address used for my other nodes. But it's not showing up in the list. I could have sworn that it was there earlier today and that I had actually added it but I've checked my stats throughout the day and it still says 2 nodes, not 3 ;-0

grrrr...any suggestions? reinstall?

the MIA node is 113520

thx.

That node JUST put up points... it should be there now!

If not...

Did you install it as a service? If so... stop the service and kill all of the processes associated with it in the task manager (D2OL.exe, DockWin.exe or WinGrid.exe) then start it with the D2OL.exe in the install folder... That will put it in the task bar so you can see it temp. Right click on it and select "status". In the window that pops up select the Statistics button at the top... check the email address that is listed...

If it's wrong then just delete the node.prp file in the ...D2OL\res folder. Start it again with the D2OL.exe file so it runs in the taskbar. When it comes up if will ask you to register it again.

What exactly is DSpy? Does it increase/decrease amount of candidates or something like that. I know it has something to do with Java.

I believe I am

It's a replacement for the resource hungry GUI that D2OL uses.

It's also a great monitoring tool if you have your nodes running as services.

Also useful to keep track of your nodes through a network

Does anyone here run D2OL on a mac?? I have an older 9600 (I have so many old computers its insane!!) that currently is just used for homework. Does anyone know if its that much different or if its just the same??

[Jeff]

I'm of no help with Macs... except Big Macs. (yeah... it's sad since that really is my sense of humor trying to come out... )

Do the comp have to be connected to internet all the time when it folds? or can I just plugin internet like once a week for sending stats?

You can set your client to offline mode and if you want to upload you can just turn it to online mode. Right-mouse button on the client icon and declick online.

[NiCKE^]

Ah k, but will it still fold? Like if I put it in my garage for 1 week and then plug in internet, will I only get results from 1 day or the whole week? I dont know if it downloads any test files and such stuff to know what it should "calculate".

You will get results for the whole week. Make sure you put your Candidate queue size big enough (2000) in properties if you do this.

You sure can!
Check out #3 for some help!

I addade another node to my profile now, I thought it already was there but it wasnt, so my questions is: do it merge the two nodes stats to just one stat or what?

[Jeff]

Yep, all your nodes show up in your stats. I have 27 nodes and they all add to my total. (only half of those are active btw... I wish all 27 were producing! )

I had to have my D2OL proggies off for some time today, about 3 hours while I was checking the harddrivers for errors and stuff, but now it's up running.
