Hi... first let me brush up all the hair that's laying on the floor (i must be bald by now, with all the hair pulling!)

Right, it's taken me an age to figure out how to set set/bonic up, but i've hit a snag that i just don't seem to be able to get over.

I've set up a new Boinc account, and after many hours of frustration, linked it to me Classic account.

Now, when i open the Boinc Manager, nothing happens until i try to link to a project. I use the http://setiathome.berkeley.edu link as sugested.

Then the Manager tries to communicate with the project. OK so far, but then it throws up a Proxy confirguration box. And no matter what i use here, i can't get it to work. The two settings in the options box are clear (HTTP and SOCKS) so i'm at a loss at what else i can try!

Talk about putting people off! The Classic system worked fine with a user name and a password...

Jesus...

Any help with this would be apprciated!

Cheers

Although it may be likely that no one will read this thread with the title you chose, I am nevertheless having the exact same problem. I can't find instructions at Boinc or at Seti for how to complete the Attach to Proxy section.

Help!
