1) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Not using proxy server. Doesn\'t ask for account key. (Message 17445) Posted 26 Nov 2005 by old_user117814 Post: Thanks for the help. The BOINC forum was the key, and I think I\'m connected now.
2) Questions and Answers : Getting started : Not using proxy server. Doesn\'t ask for account key. (Message 17444) Posted 26 Nov 2005 by old_user117814 Post: There are some teething problems at the moment, caused by a mass migration of users from SETI classic to other projects, using BOINC. This is stretching the servers to maximum capacity. One of the problems is that the latest version gives you about 3 seconds to get a reply from a server, and then assumes you are using a proxy server that it hasn\'t been told about. If you get this, just try again. Patience is the only cure. It\'s simple once one has read a few dozen posts on the latest problems. :( I went through all this myself about two hours ago, so I can sympathise with those not knowing what is going on. Don\'t use the account number emailed to you unless you are using a 4.* version of BOINC. (Which you aren\'t.) If you need more help, just ask. There\'s always someone around who can advise.

(Message 17440) Posted 26 Nov 2005 by old_user117814 Post: I can\'t get BOINC 5.2.8 to attach to the project. When I run Attach To Project wizard, it asks me for the URL to the project, I enter \"http://climateprediction.net\". It then says \"Communicating with project, please wait...\" then it brings up the Window saying \"Proxy configuration\". I am not using a Proxy server. If I enter nothing, it just brings me back to this window if I click next. How do I fix this? Tried account password as well as acct number, but neither worked. Thanks in advance.
