Network Problems While Folding?

Post by boomstick36 »

Hello, I'm new to folding and already I've run in to my first problem. Whenever I have my desktop computer running my F@H CPU SMP and 2 GPU SMP's my wireless network goes dead. All Ethernet connections work, however wireless connections are sporadic if not completely not working. When I turn the F@H clients off my network quickly returns to working status. I cannot function without the use of my wireless network yet I'd like to continue folding, how would I be able to fix this problem?

You might check the properties on your wireless adapter and if there is a power saver mode make sure it is turned off or disabled.
Other than that I don't have a clue.

No power saver mode. It is strictly when the F@H clients are one. Furthermore, more then one wireless machine can't connect while my desktop is folding.

What's your network setup?
Presumably your have a standalone wireless router connected to some fast connection?

In the list of known bugs, there's a report that the SMP client may die if WiFi goes out of range. It sounds like your problem is sort of the reverse, but I strongly suspect that they're related. The interaction between one network adapter and another is a function of both your Operating System and which of the two SMP clients you install. Since you posted in the general section, I can't make any assumptions about which OS you're running or which client you're using. Please provide that information.
