Hello. I have a home network which is *not* on 24/7. The two
machines are both running the command line version with SetiQueue.
They both put results into one Seti account. Both lots results are
sent from the faster PC manually. They both have internet access via
a wireless LAN although it's not always connected.
What is the best way to switch to Seti/Boinc. Use up all remaining
units, delete all SetiQueues and clients, and then get the new
software?
That is what I would do. Except do not delete the software just yet,
there have been times with Boinc that the system has ben down while
Classic is still up and running.
What happens about the computers on a network? One is a Athlon 2700+
and the other is a Athlon 2200+. Do the PCs have to login in
separately to the internet?
Yes, currently their is no external caching of units allowed in
Boinc. You can set each up on different "schemes", work, home, etc.
If you put the one that rarely connects on one "scheme" and the other
one that has direct access on another "scheme", then you can set each
up for a different cache level. Meaning that the one that has direct
access can cache 1 or 2 days worth of units, but the other one can
cahe several days, up to a max of 10 days. One thing to remember with
Boinc though, ALL units have an expiration date of 2 weeks from the
day you download them.
If so, do they have to have different accounts as they are
different specs?
No, just do like you did with Classic and use the same account and id
info and both computers will be listed on one account.
