Timmy,
Hey, I just noticed. You joined the original SETI@Home 1 week before I did. Cool!

30 days to get 40K credits?! Timmy, you must have a warehouse full of PCs running SETI. I have but one PC. I've been thinking about networking my P4 1.6 Ghz PC to this one since I enabled my onboard 3COM NIC for my cable Internet connection. I'd have to find one of those switches to allow me to use my keyboard, mouse and monitor on both PCs. I need to put the 1.6Ghz back together too and get an NIC for it. Oh, yeah, I'll need a router too.

I had mentioned, in another thread, that Einstein was not going to be ready for prime time until early next year. Someone told me it was ready now. I checked it out and it's in alpha. I don't do alpha, or beta for that matter. I'll wait for the public release. I'm not in this to test software, I'm in it for the science.

My spelling checker is my dictionary sitting at my knee.

Some info, not cheap but GOOD...
You can use an 8 port KVM (keyboard,video,mouse)switch (DKVM-8E) from D-Link. They are stackable and can control electronically (on screen - selectable) upto 64 computers.
The cost for the 8 port version +/- 250€, comes with three sets of cables.
(There are others with less ports 4 or so...)
Before I happened to use a mechanical switch, but this one i.e. the D-Link is much faster and much more reliable and a real luxury to operate if you have to control a lot of hardware from one point.
The rotational selector of the former mechanical switch (el cheapo solution) rapidly showed serious signs of wear and tear and hence bad connections ending up in frozen computers and reset and sometimes dataloss. (Dont by it, its wasted money and you still must turn the switch manually. The D-Link does it from the screen. In this way I economised on the wear of my feet too...).

Greetings from Belgium, land of 1000 artisanal beers, meatloaf and Belgian Fries (NOT French Fries - we invented them... that is) ;-))

I didn't realize that the rotational switch "(el cheapo solution)" was still made. I figured that, in this day and age of electronic everything, the mechanical switch was extinct. I know about the D-Link switches and was going to look into them. Thanks for the info....

I thought that only waffles were invented in Belgium. ;-) I don't call fries "French" fries. I just call them fries.

It will take me about 22 months to make it to 100K. :-( Maybe if I network my other PC I can shorten that a bit.

Siran of Vulcan:

connecting only 2 PCs?

Really only two?

You don't need a switch or a hub.

Perhaps you know the RJ45 cable, normaly used also between network adapter and hub/switch.

There is a special kind of this cable, I think it's called patch cable or crossed patch cable. RJ45 too.

This means, with this cable, You connect your 2 pcs over this crossed patched cable and they build a small network together.

(the cable is plugged to both network interfaces directly)

This saves you an additional Hardware, while "only" starting with 2 PCs.
Later with 3 or more PCs to attach, then a daisy chained or a hub/Switch is needed. But a 8 port Hub startes from about 25$ or even less.

Over a network, with additional applications for remote desktopping, you have the freedom to do what else is needed from your central pc.

Depending the number of client running, the 10'000 is not such a high number, to let loose the shoes. Runnning one Host, it's an other point

depending the validation time, for getting 10K, my private farm needs less than 40 hours.

A couple of midrage/fast PCs ARE faster than 1-2 heavy extrem fast ones, IMMO.

22 months??
Perhaps there is no more boinc in 22 Month..

OFF TOPIC:
Whew! Those long URLs really screw with the word wrap on these boards. My reply to Sir Ulli made the messages unwrapped. I fixed it.
/OFF TOPIC:

I'm having a hard time understanding what you are saying. What I want to do is control 2 PCs with one monitor, one keyboard and one mouse. Are you saying that I can do this without a switch by using a special type of RJ45 cable? I still need a NIC for the other PC. It has no built-in NIC.

I don't ever remember hearing or reading about "remote desktopping". How might this be achieved? Wait a minute, I think I have seen that in action once, about a year ago at work. One of the guys at work was at a seminar or something and I saw that his PC, in his office, was acting like someone invisible was accessing it. I found out later that it was he doing it with his laptop from across the country. Are you talking about software something like PC Anywhere?

Hmmmmm......

Both PCs needs a NIC. Now the hardware job is done.
> like PC Anywhere?
Exactly. But for PC Anywhere you hate to pay for.

The same function is offered by freeware Application/Programms/Tools.
one is VNC, fast, stable and the access to an other client can be done
by clicking the mouse:



You see, in the background writing this, in the foreground opened a Viever
--> the remote desktop is opened in this windows. in this windows,
the mouse moves/clicks, what is written is send/reveived to/from the other host. It's like you are sitting in front of the other PC. Like a remote control.

This means, for a new PC, only for crunching, just a thought, you need a mainboard, ram, a cpu, nic, harddisk and a powersupply. And an OS.
No more is needed for operation. For setup, one time the keyboard/mouse and cdrom must be connected.

PC installed, nearly everything can be done over a network.

Depending your OS, a small remote controll is ready to use there.

VNC is as mentioned ONE of those nice freewares.

Ok, I downloaded VNC and will check it out when I can get the other PC back together and configured. Thanks.... Oh, if I get a small hub, say a 4 port, this VNC will still do what you say, right?

Yes.
The physical level one thing, if this is ok (cable and more)

the application level (VNC, XP drives/Folder Shares,..) will work.

And take if possible 100 MBit/s NICs ;-)

Goodluck!

uh, I'm over 25k on boinc overall ;)

After 2 months I finally went over 20K a few days ago. :-)

I've just barely broken the 2.5K barrier! :-) Not bad for a single user since early October, doncha think?

nope it isn't :-) happy crunching ;-)

Sorry I'm not rich enough to shell out for a farm or a dedicated box. This is all I've got. Considering the number of 0-credit, 0-workunit, 0-computer, 0-give-a-damn users out there, I'd say I'm doing a damn fine job.

I can't run my TiBook 24/7/365 at 100% - It's the only machine I've got right now, and it has to handle video editing and audio editing and my finances and my website and I've gotta be able to pick up and run at the drop of a hat.

... not bad at all, NA! I've been doing BOINC since July. But, I also do CPDN and am waiting for LHC to come back online. So I'm not exclusively SETI.

Just 4.6K after a sukoshi over a month. I'm also doing ClimatePrediction, though, splitting 50/50.
