Thank you for replying to my post.

Two things.

First, download the current version of SETI Driver from
http://www.wakeassoc.com/setidriver.  I have added true IDLE
processing as an option as well as cleaned up some of the code since
the version that Marcel is distributing (with my permission).

Ok, done that.

Second, I suspect you have a colon ":" in your proxy server name.  If
so, this is still a known bug.  If not, please email me your SETI
Driver.cfg file and I'll take a look.

You'll have to excuse me, I've put off changing from the GUI version for a
while as I'm not good at this sort of thing. I'm a hardware man. <g>.

The default setup set it up with Proxy Server ticked and "-SETISPY" in the
host field. It downloaded the first time set like that but wouldn't connect
again until I deleted the "-SETISPY" thing. Proxy Server is still ticked,
Port "0". That was how it looked just now after I installed the new version.
However, it wouldn't connect to server until I removed the "-SETISPY" again.
Should I have the "No Proxy/Socks" ticked instead?

Thanks for bearing with me.

Hey y'all.

I finally got around to dumping the GUI version of SETI (probably
just in time for BOINC) and downloaded a package from:

http://members.home.nl/marcel.zuiderveld/

which did pretty much everything for me. Installed SETI Driver and
SETI Spy and uninstalled the GUI. It works like a charm, I'm
returning three times the units I was before as my machine is
working all day while I'm working, browsing, reading newsgroups and
gaming. I no longer feel obliged to leave it on at night now and
again just to get a few units. <g>. My CPU sits at around 50�C or
less all the time (Athlon XP1800+ Tbred B at 10.5 x 200FSB with a
0.15v over-volt and standard HSF with ducted outside-case air being
blown onto the CPU fan)

*However*, it's not automatically returning results and getting
units after a re-start. In SETI Driver, under the section
Proxy/Socks server, the 'proxy server' check-box is ticked and, when
I re-start, in the top field under host it has "-SETISPY".

If I remove that and click 'save configuration' then it transmits and
receives fine. However, upon re-start it's there again. It's no
biggie I guess but is there some way I can fix it?

I connect to the internet through a LAN via a dial-up machine which
is always on. No problem with anything else that uses the 'net.
