Hi, I'm new to the forums here but I have been running the WCG AGent for a while now. I have two machines, one new Dell PC which has been running the agent fine for about a month now, and an old HP Pavillion which I just brought back to life for the purpose of running the agent. There is nothing on the old machine, I reformatted it and installed WCG with the intentions of just letting it run 24/7. I didn't install a firewall or anything like that yet. However, when I try to run it on the old machine, I just get a pop-up message saying "The grid agent encountered a problem connecting to the servers...." and the status bar says "Agent paused... see www.wcgrid.org/paused". I know the connection is good because I can browse the internet and do other online tasks. Occasionally it says "Receiving 2415 bytes from server" or something along those lines, then goes back to the "Agent paused..." message. I am sharing a cable connection through a D-Link router. My system specs are:
Celeron 266 MHz Windows ME (With all availble Windows Updates) 128Mb RAM Virtual memory enabled (I manually set to 100mb min, 300mb max) 8GB hard drive Broadcom 10/100 NIC |

Hi NastyNas
Try increasing your Virtual memory in 100 meg stages till it connects and starts crunching and see if this fixes your problem Make them both the same as you need at least 300 megs of virtual memory to get it running Example: 300 min 300 max Example: 400 min 400 max I hope helps to aleviate the problem Regards |

Thanks for your support, but I still can't seem to get it going. Also I noticed that on my system specs, as WCG detects it, it says I have 48 mb of memory, which I don't. Maybe this could be an issue?

Errr... that is quite strange... do you know what type of video card you have? It may be one of those crappy ones which use RAM memory as Video Memory, or some part of it anyways... have you considered that a possibility of what is causing you problems?

Yes I think it is an integrated video card actually, it's an ATI Rage. Maybe it's time to toss this computer back in the junk pile

I don't know where you live but in many places there are outlets for used computer parts. You might be able to pick up a memory sim at one of those cheap. If you do that, make certain it matches your current memory stick exactly. Oh... and make sure you have a slot to stick it in. Regards.
