Hi people!

I'm new to Linux, so I'm getting problems as expected...

I installed BOINC and run ./boincmgr from BOINC directory; I get "Connection Failed", not surprising because I'm behind a proxy. I go to Options and put proxy's IP and port, exit boincmgr and run it again. I get "Connection Failed", so I check connection setting and see that it doesn't keep proxy settings. So proxy settings are never saved.

I tried changing setting both as user and as root, but in doesnt' work.

Any ideas? My distribution is Mandriva 2005 LE.

Thanks in advance.

seems that u will have to start ./boinc -redirectio &
first
and then enter somethinhg like

./boinc_cmd --set_proxy_settings 192.168.0.1:3128
or wheater ip is u proxy :port

*no provision to user/password ay least until 5.2.12

ps: use
./boinc -help
to command line options that can be used while starting boinc
and
./boinc_cmd --help
to additional commands u can do in line mode (after boinc is running_

OK Carlos, thanks, I'll try the cli way, I hope it works that way. But I think it's supposed to work thru the GUI.
