Finally got my new computer for work, but it's loaded up with McAfee, which thinks dnetc is a virus and deletes the files before I can install them.

So, downloaded the DOS version, joy of joys, McAfee allows it to run.

Unfortunately, the DOS version has no networking support, nor does it appear to recognise multicore systems. My plan was to use a personal proxy to get the workunits.

So, I can extracted the DOS client into four separate directories:
C:/DC/dnet1
C:/DC/dnet2
C:/DC/dnet3
C:/DC/dnet4

and downloaded the perproxy client, and put that into
C:/DC/dnetproxy/

I've grabbed IronBit's .ini file from http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showpos...7&postcount=39
and changed only the uuehttpmode=2 option and put in my firewall/proxy details.

The problem is, I don't know how to setup my clients to talk to the proxy.

My DNETC.ini looks like

[parameters]
id=benmaloney@yahoo.com

[display]
progress-indicator=auto-sense

[networking]
firewall-type=http
firewall-host=proxy.uow.edu.au:8080

I don't know what else I should try.
