F@H/D2OL

[Keith75]

Have many of you started working on D2OL? I keep contemplating moving off F@H and going back to it. I hate to give up first place though. :P

i just fired D2OL back up :thumbup:

[vaughan]

I've been concentrating on TSC recently and dabbling with F@H, SOB, DF & SETI.
Looks like I better switch some GHz back to D2OL. ;)

Anyone tried Predictor @ Home yet?

[WienerDog]

ya ive ran Predictor a bit....it seems pretty stable for a alpha.
prolly run it when they go beta, it still has probs with locking up on troublesome WU's

[em99010pepe]

I tried F@H but I don't know how to cache wu's. Who knows?

[Keith75]

I am not sure how you do it either. Might try checking out some of the big groups message boards. I never cache WU on this project since it never seems necessary unless you don't have a constant internet connection or something along those lines. Their servers seem very reliable.

Do you know how to install D2OL in a computer with no internet access?

Well i don't know how you do that but have you thought about getting a dial up router. cost about £224 that would solve the problem. look
here (http://www.tickpc.co.uk/products.asp?sid=1016578945&viewItem=143)

[em99010pepe]

nickth,

The problem is that the computers are in opposite sides of the house and to make connection with both I have to make a lot of holes in the walls. Probably I have to buy a wireless router.

[nickth]

true. and they come in dai up form

[em99010pepe]

Portugal, Portugal....

I will stay with DF.

[Keith75]

You could always go wireless. :D I just did this. Boy what a let down. Don't expect to go through more than one or two wood walls if you are going more than about 20 ft. LOL

I say lets go for it Keith. I running 6 or 7 comps most of the time and will switch at least 4 (maybe 5) over to D2OL for a while. We can make another run on F@H later.

[Keith75]

I am going to switch mine over tonight and in the morning. A few are at work. D2OL here I come. :D I should have my A64 machine up in the next day or two, time permitting, too.

em99010pepe, I'm running a Netgear RP614 router to share my cable modem connection and I have added a Netgear WG602 wireless access point to share the connection. Now I can use computers throughout the house: HP laptop (oops) notebook with built-in 802.11b, Dell Latitude laptop with a Netgear WG511 802.11g pcmcia card or my P4-2.53 with a Netgear WG311 PCI 802.11g card.
No unsightly blue cat 5 cables running down the hall, through the kitchen and into the sunroom.
It was easy to setup and runs great - appears just as quick as the wired 100 mbps computers in my office. Also means I can lessen the heat-load there too. Its the middle of Winter here and I have my air con on cooling 24/7.

Here we don't have wood walls only brick walls. That's why you have problems with hurricanes.

vaughan, first I will buy a new computer then I will think about the internet connection. I made a search for wireless routers and here they are very cheap.

The main problem is that I want to help the team but sometimes it's difficult. I live with five persons (sisters and parents) and gets really hard to control the computers. Sometimes they shutdown all my DC programs. :cry:

[Keith75]

em,

I actually live in an underground house with cement exterior walls. The interior walls are wood though. So far I seem to have alot of trouble getting the wireless to work very well. Not sure why. If you do have brick interior walls though I would say wireless may not be the way to go.

Well going off Topic and doing a bit of digging i found out where the AMD crucher went to.
"Bionic_Redneck" took the cruncher which quite a few of you donated to. To TEAM NINJA :mad:

Now I know how to do that. I sent a PM to one of the D2OL moderators.

[vaughan]

em99010pepe,
I have a rough idea how to achieve what you want but won't go on the public record with my method. Instead, can you post what the D2OL mods replied here so that anyone else wanting a no-net D2OL (or TSC) setup can follow the instructions please?

[em99010pepe]

D2Ol

Yesterday we processed a total of 1,762 Wu's. We will get Team Ninja in about six days. Our top producer is WienerDog.


vaughan,

The moderator said this:

After you made a temporary installation of D2OL on the machine that has internet access, download the number of tasks you want to crunch. Make sure the agent is offline during this so you are not actually crunching anything during this process as we want all of these tasks for your other machine.

When done find the SengentD2OL/D2OL folder. You will want to copy out the entire /res/ folder to a CD, flash drive or whatnot. 2,000 tasks should be about 10MB. Now start back up that temp install of D2OL, turn off the agent so it is again not crunching, go into the status menu and flush all of the tasks. This will delete all of the tasks you just downloaded but that’s ok because you have already saved them somewhere else.

Now on the machine that does not have Internet access, just browse to the SengentD2OL/D2OL folder and move the previously saved /res/ folder on top of the one in this machine. This will overwrite the current /res/ folder with one with all of your tasks.

When the tasks are done, which may be weeks depending on your cpu speed and how many tasks you downloaded, just turn off D2OL and find the resultQueue.dat file in the SengentD2OL/D2OL/res/ folder. This is your result file. Cut/move this file to your portable medium and stick in the same folder on your machine with Internet access. Start up the client on the Internet machine and let it upload the results and download new tasks.
