• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I think I may be able to add our computer lab towards the [H]orde...

"Skip Firedaemon... 2k and XP don't need it.
Just add it as a scheduled task, under the options (the same place you will NEED to uncheck "stop task if running 72 hours strait" you can choose when it starts the task... just choose "when my computer starts" and enter an administrator/ ?power user? password and your golden. Just remember if you change that admin's password later you need to adjust the scheduled task password your you'll be a sad puppy. (it won't start, and it won't bother to tell you it didn't start.)
If you do this it will be running even before people logon. AND no icon for them to poke at."

Can anyone verify (make me feel better about) that this works on an 2000 Professional installation? What I want is for them to run even when people are not logged in. Hopefully this will work, if so, I will be able to add 30 (or maybe 60 total) Athlon XP's at 2000+ with 512 mb RAM folding 24 hrs a day...
 
The version 5.02 console client has a built in service installer so you don't need to go through any of that. It will run as soon as Windows is loaded and no one will see that it's there since it won't leave anything in the taskbar or the system tray.

Very cool. I'll get that running ASAP.
 
Adding is much better then subtracting, way to go :D
 
With the folding client 4.? Running as a scheduled task on w2kpro, logging off with novell client would stop folding. Or maybe it was logging back on that stopped it. Not much of an issue because most pc’s are either shut down for the night or restarted. Just wondering if this is an issue with f@h 5 as a service?

This should not be a problem. I have never had it happen with my work computer. Then again, I never log off. Hell, I never even shut the machine down unless the recently flaky sound locks the machine up.

Anyway, I believe it is installed as a system level service so it should not shut off until the computer is shut down.

 
Ah! Turns out our firewall at the lab will be a problem I think. Almost every port is blocked, nothing can get through except web traffic I think.
 
did you set it up for the proxy?

I still don't get why they used port 8080, and not 80.
 
I tried setting it up via the proxy but that didn't work so well.

Here's what I could do. There are certain folding servers that do use Port 80 (or at least they list it under what ports they use). Is there some way I can specify to only use those servers?
