Running FAH on a MacBook

[DanMattia]

Hi everyone,

I've been running F@H on-and-off for a year or so now on my gaming PC, and it's caused me a few problems on my PC so I've uninstalled it. I want to run it on my MacBook Intel CoreDuo, and have installed the PPC file. It, however, cannot connect to the work server to retrieve any units. Is this a flaw from using the PPC installation, or have I done something wrong?

And yes, before you ask, my MB is connected to the internet and fully functional.

Is there an Intel Mac-specific download, as well?

Thanks for your help and for working to fight disease.

if you have it set up to retrieve timeless workunits, you're not going to be able to connect to that particular server cause Stanford has taken the timeless offline.

glad I could help! I sure hope that Stanford puts timeless wu's back on line soon, cause its impacting a couple of my borgs that I'm running on sneakernet.

now here is another question on the MacBooks...I just got mine as well as a 20" intel mac (that one is at work) but when I try running Increase it says it is stopped...I have the exact same config as I had on my MDD Dual 1.25 G4 so I am not sure what is happening...any ideas??

That's a good place to start, an Intel OSX client seems to be in the works, but when it will drop, no one seems to know. I'd suggest keeping an eye on those forums and the Stanford homepage as they'll be sure to put it on there.

What client were you running on your gaming PC? The graphical client tends to cause problems, especially when you run it while gaming, the console does not.
