I forgot to mention that there is a Firewall (closed) and the PC is connected to a Router (automatically).
Do I need to config the access or will it self adjust? Thanks in advance for ALL your support  zeh |

Hello zehelmer,
----------------------------------------First, make sure you want to download the WCG client rather than the United Devices client at http:www.grid.org. Both these organizations use a very similar client but they are different organizations. It is not possible to run both on the same computer. The project requirements are listed at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq Currently the smallest project is FightAIDS@Home, which requires at least 250 MB RAM. Projects can be selected at My Grid - My Projects or they can be selected for each computer running our version of the UD client at My Grid - Device Manager - Device Profiles. Welcome Back to Crunching! There is a lot to read in Start Here.

Hi, Lawrence
Many thanks for your remarks and support I just started from the Grid site (WCG) but the Agent shows "powered by United Devices"  Shall I remove it and find the other one It continues stuck there (Agent paused)  and if I force the communication it repeats the "Receiving 3725 of 3725...." and then "Agent paused".Also I don't know what kind of work is coming in? Shall I give up? May it be incompatible with the AV (avast) or the CPU Idle feature? Hope you can give some more guidance over this difficulty. Kind regards zeh |

Hello zehelmer,
The World Community Grid uses 2 different clients, UD (United Devices) and BOINC. Which you choose to use is a matter of taste, though BOINC is newer and offers more options. Normally, if you receive a packet of 3750 bytes, it means that the initial handshake with the server shows that your machine does not meet the minimum requirements ( http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=minimumreq ) for the project(s) that you have signed up for. You can try uninstalling the UD client and download the BOINC client at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php The BOINC message logs are much more informative. What sort of computer do you have (CPU, memory, OS)? Lawrence |
