That's the whole point behind different venues...

Yes, you just need to set up different Einstein@home prefs for the different venues, which you do just the same as for general preferences.

To be more specific, in case any readers are in doubt:

To set up venue specific general prefs, first click on view or edit general prefs then click on the link to add separate prefs for home (school, work).

Likewise, to set up venue specific resource shares, you'd click first on the link to view or edit Einstein@home prefs, and then within that page click on the link to add separate prefs for home (school, work), then go to the websites of the other porjects and repeat for their project specific prefs.

Then, to complete the process, go to the web page for each of your computers, and select which venue the computer belongs to. The slight wrinkle in this is that for reliable results, you shoud do this *after* you edit all the project specific prefs, and should do it from the website that you last updated for its project specific prefs.

Or, to be even safer, make the selection on the website of every project, so that each project has the same opinion about the venue of each computer. This will save many of the problems that heffed maentions, where the venue seems not to work as expected!

Thanks, I see that now. I've been using "venues" with the other settings, but missed that I could also change share.

Not sure that's the "whole" point as I've been using venues mostly to change the connection setting.

Thanks.
