Could anybody please tell me how to get a work unit onto a comuter with no internet connectivity and back onto the ClimatePrediction website for credits as I have some computer that I want to run but for practical reasons cannot connect it to the internet. |

If you can NEVER connect this computer to the internet, the only way I can think of is to move the whole folder for example once a month to a computer with an internet connection. You\'d need an external storage device with 1Gb of space, but you\'d first have to check the disk space being occupied in the Disk tab of the boinc manager. The server needs to connect with a model I think at least every 6 weeks to maintain the model\'s active status. After that the server will give the model to another computer. So I don\'t think you could only let the model trickle once at the end of the whole 160 years. You\'d need to check exactly where the folder is, and put it in the same place on the C drive of both computers - the cpdn and BBC versions of boinc install to different directories. Before you move the folder temporarily and then move it back, it would be a very good idea to back the whole folder up. Cpdn news |
