Hi,

I do have internet access and I am able to access the project server web pages. However through BOINC Manager, I am unable to access the project pages. I have checked the following:
1) No proxies are being used on my system
2) BOINC is not being blocked by my firewall
3) I am dialing in to my broadband connection and this is when the problem started.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Kiran

Which project are you trying to connect to? Do NOT attach to BOINC, as BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) is NOT a project. It's the managing program only.

Either choose a project to attach to from the list of projects on the BOINC website, or choose any other from the list of projects in my FAQs.

THank you for your help.
I was trying to connect to the multiple projects that I had running in BOINC. Turned out that the problem was in Zone Alarm. Had to delete the BOINC entries. Start BOINC again and give fresh access to client and manager!!!
