When trying to attach a project, it asks me about my proxy server.

This is before asking for my account key.

In most cases the defaults (everything blank) will work, if not you can check your internet options (in Internet Explorer: extra -> internet options -> connections tab -> LAN-settings, if I recall correctly) for the proxy server you use.

This is triggered if there is too long a delay contacting the server. This means that either your connection is slow, or the server is overloaded.

What version of BOINC are you running? The timeout was increased recently to reduce the number of spurious requests for proxy information.

On two separate Windows PCs, I have found that this seems to relate to some strange registry error.

See my discussion on my problems and the solution I found that worked on two PCs at
