/nonet seti?

[Farabomb]

Is there anyway to run seti on a machine not connected to the net? I poped over to TP seti and scanned it real quick but I didn't find anything. I'm kind of new to the seti thing and if it wasn't for Lee and liz I'd still be using "the one with the pretty pictures" as Liz put it. Thanks All.

I dont know if this is the easiest way to do it but you would need to grab the client set it up on the no net machine grab seti driver and set that up on both machines (one connected machine) then just set Driver to grab as many units as you think you need for the no-net machine into driver. Move those onto a cd or floppys and put them into the seti folder on the no net machine.

Rinse and repeat when done. 1.44 Floppys can be a real pain though as they only hold 3 uncrunched units but moving them back can hold quite a number of them.

So basicly what you have is a folder on each machine names whatever seti for example in that folder on both machines you would need the seti client and driver. Driver names the units 1 to whatever you can renumber them for moving purposes.

Grab units on the connected machine move them to the no-net machine crunch away and move the finished units back to the connected machine for submitial.

Thats about it in a nutshell. Its a lot of work using floppys but with zip drives and cd's its not so bad ( unless of couse the machines are networked but then it probably would have access to the net). :)

Perhaps someone else knows of a better way?

Hey NickBrownsFan, welcome to the LN forums. Glad you popped in to check us out:) I hope to see you around the forums.

BTW, can the non net seti machine be connected to the net in a temporary fashion just to load the cache and dump the units? Once seti driver has download a junk of units to work on, you can crunch all the units in the cache without having to be connected. Just reconnect to the net for the dump and fill.

ok heres my way (no singing please)

on a pc with access to the net and a CD writer

1. install setdriver and seti client in a sub directory
2. setup the seti driver to cache 200-500 units
3. transmit so that the setidriver fills up
4. write the directory all its subdirectories to the cd
6. delete all the subdirectories numbered 1 to 500
5. go to machine with no net
6. copy the directory to the no net machine
7. in explorer highlight the directory, right click, properties and remove the read only tick - apply it to all the subdirectories
8. then set the setidriver away crunching
9. when some are done copy the files subdirectories with the file result.sah in onto a floppy
10. copy them back into the directory on the orginal machine
11. restart setidriver and set the cache to 0 so it does not download any more
12. hit transmit

step 7 is very important if you transport them on a CD as they become read only and setidriver will sit and do nothing with the units

hope that helps - just yell if I have confused you totally

No prob Lee

Nice to see you nickbrownsfan

Before I posted this I took seti driver and d/l 50 units to a folder on my desktop. Took that folder with the command line client and seti driver and burned it to a CD. I loaded it to the machine I want to crunch with. Set up seti driver and hit transmit. And nothing happened. I have the disk in the car so I'm going to try it again. Be back in a few.

Hi Liz,

Can I use your explaination in my SETI FAQ section?

Take care.......

[Farabomb]

Thanks Liz, I forgot about the files being read only. That seemed to do the trick. Now, It's running on a dual proc box. Do I set max process to 2?

[liz]

only set max process to 2 if you are running it on a dual processor machine

otherwise set to 1

yes.......but only have 1 more week of lecturing and was then going to work on the SETI links etc

[liz]

and the read only gets us all in the start :D

Thanks for the kind welcome my friends. :D been so busy almost forgot to stop back. I'm sure you'll see me about here and there even if just to say Hi :)
