Alright I have 13+ system folding under my name

1 x A64 3500+
1 x AXP 2600+
1 x AXP 2000+

6 x P4 2.4Ghz
4 x P4 3.0Ghz W/ Hyper

Almost all systems are running 24/7. Note all P4 run as a service. Not sure if that matters. On Stanford site it lists my active proccessors for a 7 day period as only 7 systems.

I am producing roughly 300 point/day give or take.

Can someone tell me if this is right.

Note I have a system for the life of me I can't find and I'm assuming it is a Athlon based system and it produces around 100 point a day yet I have 13+ systems and only produce 300. :banghead: :bawling:

    The short answer is yes.

    You should be folding 17 instances of F@H.

    One on each system and two on each hyperthreaded system ...each in its own folder.
    Check to make sure that each client.cfg file contains your correct user name and team number.

    Each instance should have it's own client.cfg so you should have 17.

    Each of the client.cfg files on a hyperthreaded system should have it's own seperate machineID. One should have machineID=1 and the other should have machineID=2.

    If by chance you find wrong user id or team number it is easy to change thru the client.cfg file. Just stop the client ...edit the file with your correct info ...and then restart the client. Check the FAHLOG.txt to make sure that the info has been corrected ...look at the first line since it has been restarted not the first line of text.

    If all of the above is correct then you should be ok unless you've used a program like ghost or something to copy OS's from one machine to another. If that is the case then let me know that is easy enough to fix.

    Each HT machine has its own client.cfg??

    Mine is currently like this...

    [settings]
    username=Enisada
    team=93
    asknet=no
    machineid=1

    [http]
    active=no
    host=
    port=
    usereg=no

    [clienttype]
    type=0

    [core]
    priority=0
    cpuusage=100
    disableassembly=no
    checkpoint=15
    ignoredeadlines=no

    Indeed I was checking them all and it turned out the f@h service I used wasn't very good so one of the P4 machines had the Team or User name on it. :(

    Yes each of those systems should do at least 100ppd. The 2000+ might be just short of that but on average they should all do 100+ a day.

    There is firedaemon and several other ways to set up a service on the FAH section of the front page.

    Every machine folding has a client.cfg.

    On a hyperthreaded machine you can install F@H twice in two seperate folders and you get two seperate client.cfg's. Each of those two client.cfg's needs a different machineID ...ie machineID=1 and machineID=2.

    Installing two clients on a hyperthreaded machine sutilizes 100% of the cpu just like a regular machine does ...if you only have one client on a hyperthreaded machine then you are only using 50% cpu.

    Yes I have figured it out, I'm looking forward to seeing what I will be producing in a couple days :D. Thanks guys...

    Doesn't FAH keep an ID in the registry somewhere? If you clone an OS to another computer, and mulitple computers have the same ID, only one will count right?

    Yes, Chris had that problem with his lab.

    Yes if you have duplicate ID's only one will be counted ...all you do is close the client and delete the ID from the registry ...restart the client and a unique ID will be assigned. You definitely want to do this if you ghost. It's easiest if you delete the ID just before you ghost so that a new ID will be assigned as soon as you boot the new system.
