[font='courier,courier new']I've never had that problem, and I've run MkLinux (KDE 2), YDL2.4 (KDE 2) YDL3 (KDE 3.3)... I'll soon be adding Kubuntu to the list, too. Mozilla v1.7.7. I haven't been able to install Firefox because I found out it needs an installation type I don't know of yet. The 2 I do use won't install it. A third, which I haven't completely figured out yet, won't install it either. Also still trying to get BOINC going on this box. Got it installed, but when attaching, SETI doesn't get the hostname or host IP address. Still working to resolve that.... I was playing with Konqueor the other day and saw one of the quirks I had forgotten. In Group, when displaying the messages, it shows multiple paragraphs in different fonts....

I use Mozilla in the KDE desktop environment. Nope, Konqueror was acting way to jittery. Example: I would leave a post here [not neccesarily this thread or board]. After posting, I would have to click the back button several times to get back just 1 or 2 pages. It also doesn't look as clean as Mozilla or Firefox. But, since I went and re-installed FreeBSD to get it right, I may try it again.... >:-) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr XO - L L & P _\\// USS Vre'kasht NCC-33187 Winders 10 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

My problem isn't with the networking, that works just fine. I'm running FreeBSD on this box and cannot get BOINC to attach properly. SETI isn't getting the hostname or host IP address for whatever reason. I haven't worked with it for a few weeks now. But, I'm not going to give up on it. I will get it attached and crunching.... >:-) Yep, I use Mozilla in the KDE desktop environment. No problem getting on the Internet. SETI just does not get the hostname and IP. By the way, in windows it takes a matter of a minute or 2 to install BOINC on the PC. I spent better than half a day installing BOINC on this one. Installations are definitely a long and drawn out process. And, there's several different types of installations.... >:-) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr XO - L L & P _\\// USS Vre'kasht NCC-33187 Winders 10 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

If so then the problem could be in the program and not the connection.

Soooo you have joined the ranks of us "farmers"! WELCOME you will be sooo frustrated at times, networking can be a VERY tough and PICKY thing, BUT you will also be VERY satisfied as the different computers come together and finally start to do what you want them to do. I also started out with just one computer, it is called Boinc1 now and is offline until I get a new power supply for it. ALL the rest of my computers AND even that one are either bought VERY cheaply or hand-me-downs or computers that were given to me for fixing other peoples computers. I LIKE fixing computers and do it for MANY people but all I charge is the money for the parts that need replacing. I then keep the old parts my payment. Sooo when I convince someone they need a new computer I get an old box with cpu and power supply and ram in it. Then I help them buy a barebones machine and we move all of their old stuff over and I get a new Seti/Boinc machine. I have thrown out more than 6 or 8 that are just too slow and my space is getting limited, I currently have 20 running here at home, ALL crunching either Classic or Boinc. I used to do Einstein units and may again but right now I am only doing Seti units under boinc. My computers are NOT hidden because I do not have anything to hide and I like looking at other peoples computers to get an idea of how they are getting so much RAC. I also like to see how computers that are like mine are doing. It would be a bit hypocritical to look at other peoples computers and then not let them look at mine. I am NOT in it for the credits, but must admit I do like to see them go up and when mine go down I try to figure out if it is me or Berkeley that is having the problem. If Berkeley truned the credits off right now I would STILL crunch for them!! I BELIEVE in the project! I run a small program besides Classic or Boinc on all of my computers, RAdmin, that lets me sit at my main computer, an AMD64 3200+, and then log onto each of my other computers and be able to actually see the screen and do things as though I were sitting in front of that computer.

[quote]There was a member therein who ran some computing lab somewhere and thought he'd be doing everyone a favor if he pitched credits into their accounts. And when he was asked to stop by a few of us, his reply was a bit of indignation and a bit of confusion. He simply could not understand why anyone would not want a few credits pitched into their accounts. And he continued adding credits to my account. Way to go TG! I think the vast majority of people out there think in the very same terms as you do TG. They want to see the credits they crunched for, not someone else's credits added to theirs. Personal pride in one's accomplishments is something a few out there don't still don't understand it seems. I only have two PC's crunching currenly and even though my numbers aren't the greatest, I'm damn proud of them as they are what I accomplished with my own equipment. Lately I've been focusing more on Predictor@Home than on Seti so my Seti numbers have crawled to a snail's pace. I'd love to see my numbers on Seti go higher but I'd still be royally PO'd if someone started dumping credits in my Seti account that I didn't crunch myself. I made the choice to concentrate most of my effort for a period of time on another project and don't need supplimental credits from someone else.  To truly explore, one must keep an open mind...

Judging from your RAC, I would say you're running exclusively SETI, or you have a number of computers at you disposal. Without a stats graphic that shows multiple projects, I have no idea what you're crunching.I crunch for Seti exclusively on more than one machine. I don't put my stats graphic on every post (at least I try to remember not to) because it just seems obnoxious. I saw you graphic which satisfied my curiosity.

Her Team Name says it all! TeraStandsAloneI suppose an explanation of the team name is in order. Ok, I see you have a multi-project stats graphic and you ARE crunching exclusively SETI. That satisfies most, if not all, of my curiosity.... >:-) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr XO - L L & P _\\// USS Vre'kasht NCC-33187 Winders 10 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.
