I only run hfm.net on 1 PC. Do you have it on multiple PC's? 

 

I add each PC into that PC's folding client. Then, hfm.net pulls it all from that client only.

Ah, thats why, yea will be running on 4 PC's. I'll have to get the network sorted out then. Have them all running HFM and local ip. Probably why its overwriting.

I've done it local on windows, but that's it as far as I've gotten with linking clients together to 1 machine. When you do, you can turn everything off/on from that 1 pc.

I just have a VM of Windows 10 running HFM.net and some general web scrapping scripts and a basic web server.

[Avacado]

Yea, I have no idea at this point how to remotely link all my clients to one HFM client to display.

Remotely link all of your clients to 1 client on a pc and then install hfm.net

I have HFM running on every pc and laptop in this house, write down all the local IP's and make sure to set a rule in the firewall to accept those local IP's on every system. Like @BWG said, it's easy to control all the hardware from every device too (start/stop/finish).

[axipher]

I have HFM on a single PC and FAH Control each.

 

 

You only need a single instance of HFM and you just add all your other PC's as Clients.  Just set either your machines with static IP's, or in the router, set a static IP per device so they always get the same IP address.  All PC's can just use the default port 36330 or whatever it is in FAHControl and that shouldn't be blocked by default in Windows firewall.

 

You may just need to go in to configuration of each PC FAHControl and add a password for remote control and the IP range allowed.  This will need a full restart of the whole FAHClient/FAHControl to take affect sometimes, so normally easier to just reboot the PC after adding the password and allowed IP range.

I'd also like to give this a try. Will add to the ever-growing to-do list.

[BWG]

This is on my list to fix. The last forum outage ruined the screenshots.

[Avacado]

Most of the pictures of this guide are broken, i'm slowly getting around to static networking the rigs throughout the house and allowing remote access on them to be able to do this. Can you fix the pictures? I'm a moron with networking. 

[BWG]

Yep, been on the to do list for a while. No ETA on fixing the OP.

[BWG]

OP Images fixed

[Cerberus]

worked like a charm, it takes them a few hours to launch the site, but all is well!

I can't get this figured out for the life of me. Will revisit after the foldathon

Here to help if you need it.

I just can't see to get HFM.net to recognize my rig. I tried the IP address and using local and neither generate a connection. I have everything else setup by the guide and it works, just can't get it to see my client

Seems I had downloaded a way older version of HFM and didn't realize it. 

Found the latest download and now zero issues
