Trying to connect with the BOINC software for SETI work package I find that the URL suppied by you folks doesn't seem to work (after 6 tries, reinstalling the software twice). After checking I find that the servers are up too. I have gone back to the classic version as that one works. Any ideas? I use XP, SP2, 20gig free on hard drive and 750 meg RAM free. |

As it looks, your PC have not connected to the server right now. Be sure you are using http://setiathome.berkeley.edu without spaces before and behind it. Did you look in the message tab to see what are the messages ? Very probably, this is a question of Firewall and/or Proxy configuration. Read the News at the homepage Have a look at the Technical News Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki Best greetings, Thierry |

I entered the URL correctly, the messages said that there was no such URL, and the firewall excepted the program's access to the web withou a problem. I did not have the "classic version" on line (or running in the background either), but as I use Netzero HS as my ISP provider, perhaps there's a conflict there with the "high speed" version of Netzero. Any more thoughts? |

You have to make certain that you have allowed the XP SP2 firewall to let BOINC out of your machine. BOINC WIKI |

Web acceleraters usually work by compressing the data before sending it to your computer. If you can find a way to set it not to compress comunications for BOINC try that.
