How many clients are setup for your chip? Did you configure via IE, and reset the Client (in the vmware window)?

If you're getting such low PPD, delete the old WU and get a new one.

Ok Im seriously confused. I setup 4 clients, named them folding1, folding2, etc. Followed all teh instructions and am getting low PPD and the WUs wont send.

All the windows say "attempt to access beyond end of device". Any idea what that means?

EDIT - Rebooted the clients and got rid of that message, but WUs arent going through still

But why rename the clients? I just looked at the how-to (page 1), and it's not mentionned anywhere. Where do you see this?

**Eldonko** · #**290** (**permalink**) October 12, 2009, 03:47 PM

Here:

- change the line
displayName = "Folding@Home"
to
displayName = "VMfold-1"
------------------------------------
- change the line:
ide0:0.fileName = "folding.vmdk"
to
ide0:0.fileName = "VMfold-1.vmdk"

That's what I did except I named them folding1 not VMfold-1

Ah! I never followed that how-to. Only the 1st one from the evga forums. Never failed to work. See if you can maange to use that one instead.

That message always comes up and does not seem to impact PPD. Its on my vmware screen 90% of the time, so I think you will see it again.

You still only getting 450PPD??

**Eldonko** · #**293** (**permalink**) October 12, 2009, 08:05 PM

I got it guys, I just had to update WU database for it to read correctly. After a reboot it sent in the finished WUs as well. Around 6k PPD for CPU only

3.0charlie · #**294** (**permalink**) October 12, 2009, 08:08 PM

Yup, good numbers.

Wrong team. :P

To monitor with FAHMON or Fahspy simply point either monitoring app to
\\<your ip>\c\etc\folding\1\

That does not work for me. Could someone explain where it would be?

Do i type in the ip and then the exact thing after that? "\c\etc\folding\1\"

stoanee · #**297** (**permalink**) November 7, 2009, 05:33 AM

You enter the ip of the client that you see on the vm screen and then the rest exactly as the guide says also checking off the virtual checkbox. Every vm will have a different ip and need to be configured as such.

Ah alright, hmmm how do i do that virtual tick thing on FAHSPY?

3.0charlie · #**299** (**permalink**) November 7, 2009, 07:43 AM

Not required in Fahspy.
