I can't download new WU since the fire event.
I resetted the project, re installed BOINC and windows drivers.
Checking log I found this:
29/08/2017 13:47:02 | SETI@home | [http] [ID#1] Received header from server: HTTP/1.1 504 Timeout while reading response from Server

Complete log from the connection attempt:

I have no connection problems and I can get response to ping, tracert and browser navigation.
Any hint ?

Thanks in advance,
Andrea

The bold above says that you are trying to connect to an HTTPS address. The Seti project address for BOINC however is just HTTP, even when its forums can be reached via an HTTPS address prefix.

So check that you added Seti with http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ and not https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/

Hi Ageless,
thank you for your kind reply.
I confirm I'm using HTTP:

31/08/2017 09:56:19 | SETI@home | [http] HTTP_OP::init_get(): http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
31/08/2017 09:56:19 | SETI@home | [http] HTTP_OP::libcurl_exec(): ca-bundle set
31/08/2017 09:56:19 | | [proxy] HTTP_OP::no_proxy_for_url(): http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
31/08/2017 09:56:19 | | [proxy] returning false

Any other idea ?
Thank you

Can you post a complete cycle of what http_debug has to say on such a contact? Not just an excerpt.
Also, are you using a proxy?

Yes I'm on a company network so it's possibile I'm connecting throw a proxy.
Anyway, as told on my first post, I have no problems connecting to the seti server via ping, tracert or brower request. I assume it's a common http request so the proxy should not be a problem.
Here is my latest log, but it doesn't add nothing to my first post:

Message 1887061 - Posted: 31 Aug 2017, 10:13:53 UTC - in response to Message 1887059.

The above are the main lines, I think.
You won't be able to connect to anything using port 80, when your proxy uses a different port number. So then connections time out.

Is your BOINC set up to use the proxy?
Options->Other options...->HTTP or SOCKS Proxy
If neither of these is populated, BOINC won't connect to the server.
If either of these is populated, check the details. Especially the port number.
You may need to add information via the <proxy_info></proxy_info> tags in cc_config.xml, see https://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Client_configuration#Options for that - and mind the asterisks (*) as those options are only for BOINC 7.8 and above (which is still in testing).

You just gave me the correct hint to track down the problem !
Here is the explanation to my problems:

It seems that my company's network team changed policy lately ... I have no words ...
Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
Andrea
