DHEP through a Firewall

[michaelgarvie]

As of now the DHEP server is running on a new port configuration.

For those of you who can filter out their own ports, you should only require to allow access through ports 1098, 1099, 2010 and 2011.

For those of you with a SOCKS proxy see http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/mmg20/dhe/faq.php#proxy

For those with neither of these please be patient. I am currently working on HTTP tunneling.

Ok, I set only those 4 as open TCP ports but
there is one more, a UDP for my ISP.
- fyi: I have high-speed with username & password to logon and it seems all my programs now need a UDP; just installed Norton firewall 2004.
:drums:

[michaelgarvie]

Is it working with only those ports open mentioned above?

[meckano]

so far so good, my name is in top X islands.

I still need to know how to implement/change settings, re: examples: -c,-i,-...
... change low to belownormal, but where. I have 11 files in the DHE folder.

Did I miss something ... are we now able to pass a username and password to our proxy? Required for me at work at least.

[meckano]

no, was just my personal internet info.

Open up wrapper.conf and find the following section:

# Application parameters. Add parameters as needed starting from 1
wrapper.app.parameter.1=distrit.client.InteractiveTaskClient
wrapper.app.parameter.2=139.184.166.27
wrapper.app.parameter.3=KingKong
wrapper.app.parameter.6=-i
wrapper.app.parameter.7=5 <<<<<< There's your setting for i
wrapper.app.parameter.8=-c
wrapper.app.parameter.9=20 <<<<<< There's your setting for c


Now the next bit is messy--


Find this section:

****************************************************************
# Wrapper NT Service Properties
#********************************************************************
# WARNING - Do not modify any of these properties when an application
# using this configuration file has been installed as a service.
# Please uninstall the service before modifying this section. The
# service can then be reinstalled.

# Name of the service
wrapper.ntservice.name=Distributed.EvoBIST1

# Display name of the service
wrapper.ntservice.displayname=Distributed Hardware Evolution Island1

# Description of the service
wrapper.ntservice.description=Distributed Hardware Evolution Island1

# Service dependencies. Add dependencies as needed starting from 1
wrapper.ntservice.dependency.1=

# Mode in which the service is installed. AUTO_START or DEMAND_START
wrapper.ntservice.starttype=AUTO_START

# Allow the service to interact with the desktop.
wrapper.ntservice.interactive=false

wrapper.ntservice.process_priority=LOW <<<<<< There's your setting for low/belownormal


NOTE THE WARNING---You have to uninstall the service before modifying this,
then re-install it after you have saved your settings

[michaelgarvie]

If you're running DHEP from a script such as IslandNT.bat then change the line:

start /low /b /wait java -Djava.security.policy=java.policy ...

to

start /belownormal /b /wait java -Djava.security.policy=java.policy ...

No, but I will be working on HTTP tunnelling soon which should solve all firewall problems.
