When I write the http://setiathome.berkeley.edu. inte Boinc manger URL's field, it says that it's not a Boinc based project.

There should not be a period at the end of the URL, otherwise that looks right. The project may have been down at that time please try again.

BOINC WIKI

BOINCing since 2002/12/8

There should not be a period at the end of the URL, otherwise that looks right. The project may have been down at that time please try again.

I tried again without that period at teh ane. Boinc answered "The URL you supplied is not taht of a Boinc-based project."

Aarne, go to the projects website, create a password, then use the "use existing account" option instead of "create account", then use the URL and password (not key) when attaching.

Aarne, go to the projects website, create a password, then use the "use existing account" option instead of "create account", then use the URL and password (not key) when attaching.

Again "The URL you supplied is not that of a Boinc-based project."

I'll start this from way way in the beginning:

Install BOINC, let it start up.
- If your firewall asks if Boinc.exe and Boincmgr.exe are allowed to play outside, let them.
- If you want to connect to the Seti project, go to Your Account.
- Change your password, type it in twice and hit the Change Password button.
Start Boinc Manager if it isn't open yet.
At the top menu bar, you see Projects (not the tab, but the menu bar), press it.
Select Attach to project.
- Type in, or copy & paste: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
- Press Next.
- Press the round radio button before "Use existing account"
- Fill in your email address (shown at the top of the page) and the password you just set at the Seti page.
- Press Next.

That should attach you to Seti.

If it does not, go to the Messages tab in Boinc Manager and copy the messages from there, then post them here for one of us to look over.

That tells me and BOINC that you have a firewall which doesn't allow BOINC to contact the internet.

If it's your own firewall (hardware or software), make sure you allow Boinc.exe to contact the internet on TCP ports 80 and 443.
If it's your company firewall... ask your network administrator for permission.

Problem solved. It was Internet Operator's Firewall, not mine own.
