Ok, I have D/L'ed the iso and burned it to a disk, but the CD will not boot.

I am not a n00b to iso's, but this one will not work for me....it just hangs at

"ISOLINUX 2.13 2004-12-14 Copyright....."

Any ideas?
 
What computer are you using? Older ones might have problems with bootable CDs in general, so try a known good Windows cd or something to make sure that it boots things in general. Also, there's a tool called "md5sum" to check that a file has been downloaded properly. The md5sum for the latest version of fold-server is:
1563769ad6722828da9d1528f0fca866 fold-server-20050404.iso
You can check this with this tool; download it, click on "generate checksums" mode, and drag-n-drop the iso file in. The checksum it displays should match the above one. If it doesn't, you'll have to redownload it, since it's corrupt.

If its checksum does match, then I suggest you try it on a different computer; fold-server is fairly uncaring about the hardware you install it on versus the hardware you use it on. Just move the hard drive over, obviously. ;)

HTH...
 
The PC is a brand new HP here at work....no problem with hardware support.

I will do the checksum check.
 
Ok, I have tried to re-download it twice and the checksum keeps coming up as: 1563769ad6722828da9d1528f0fca866 *fold-server-20050404.iso

Is there a problem here?
 
hmm Moose, unless I got cross eyed staring at all those digits, looks like the MD5 checksum is good. I'll d'l the iso, and check it on my MSI KT266 board for booting ability, it won't run though, the board has no NIC :( and I'm broke till friday.
 
it boots, so I'm still wondering what the dang deal is. maybe I have a different version, mine says 0.6??
 
I'm dl'ing the newest now, I'll post up as soon as I get the cd burnt.

newest one works for me also, hmmmmm.
 
OK, the new CD that I just burned work great!

I guess the version I got before was just corrupted.

Thanks for the help, mag
 
Awesome, glad you got it working. Email me if you have any questions. My response time has gone up a bit, unfortunately; I got a job so I'm busy pulling cable and crap from 9 to at least 5. Oh well, at least it means money. :D :D

Feel free to pull some fiber optics on over to my house!! :D I could find a use for it.

i'm reasonably certain that he'd do our house first.

anyways, i'll alert u_m to anything urgent (if i don't know the answer myself) until i get a job. we gotta finance the addiction somehow!
 
I am trying to configure it...

Also, how do I configure the ethernet interface that goes out to the internet for DHCP?
 
I havent played with it in a while (mage will probably correct me... feel free..)
but you can set them up through the web interface i forget which option it is but you can configer eth0 eth1 etc errrr

crash was supposed to be working on an updated "how to" guide for that as well
 
Yeah, the interface doles out IP's, but I want it to accept a DHCP assigned IP address.

Here is what I am trying to do:

Fold-server is behind my firewall at work. I want to use the Fold-server as a proxy between my real network and the folding network.

How can I accomplish this? Am I missing something really easy here?
 
Hmm I might be off on this, but you might need to set up a router


outside world -> FireWall -> (DHCP addy) ->Router -> sub-net to fold server

i think the current setup of fold serv you have to have the static ip in there..
 
but the fold server has a static ip that you assign thus the need for the router to take that ip and route it through the firewall to the outside world
 
ok, I see what you are saying. Is there no way to change that address then? 10.1.1.1 will not work for at the office and I have no access to make static routes in the router/firewall.
 
This is kinda like what I am trying to do:

foldserverdiag.bmp


I need to be able to edit the address of eth0 to match my network at the office or allow that interface to be assigned an IP addy from the DHCP server at work.
 
If you put a router between the fold server and the network. it *should work*

as long as it is not a netgear router.. :p

i just got a new linksys one that i will be using to set this up this weekend



Server ------Eth0 ------ [Router] ----------[network]
 
that is something that actually has to be done, at least the way Mage has made it, the "upgrade" to 1 nic instead of two would have fixed that (i think) but right now it needs that router in there
 
two NICs can still be very useful, but I need to be able to change the address on the eth0 interface...
 
Does Fold-Server support optical mice? I can't get mine to work...

Yes, is it PS/2 or USB? Run "xsetup.sh" and tell it xfbdev and the appropriate mouse type. That should be all you need.
for dhcp, change /etc/network/interfaces to include this:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
instead of this:
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.1.1.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
network 10.1.1.0
broadcast 10.255.255.255
gateway 10.1.1.1
This tells it to just grab all that stuff via dhcp. I'll look into adding an option for that in the netconfig script, but in any case modifying this and rebooting should make it go.

Oh, and moose, the interfaces in your diagram should be the other way around. That will probably fix many problems.

Thanks for the DHCP changes!

I should have the folding boxes hanging off of eth1, eh?
:eek:
 
Uh... no, eth0. Eth0 is the "private" network, with the boxen and a default of 10.1.1.1 as the address. This means you'll want to make eth1 (the "Public" ip) do dhcp, not eth0. It should go like this:
Internet->work->eth1->fold-server->eth0->farm.
Hope that clarifies it a bit.
 
do what I did. If it looks correct, and the numbers are right, switch the network cables. :) Dunno how it worked, but it did. All the more reason to learn Linux. :D

Makes perfect sense....so I can use you little edit trick on eth1 for DHCP?

Cool :cool:
