I've been a Clasic SETI user for years and have had no problems. Now, Bionic is giving me a headache!

When I click Attach to a Project, I enter http://setiathome.berkeley.edu

The next screen that appears is Proxy Configuration. Franky, I have NO IDEA on what to enter. Please let me know so I can run Bionic.

There should be simple instructions for non-geek types like me. Any of that form of help available?

FAQ here

If you're doing this from home, you probably don't have a proxy server
so you don't need to worry about it.

I hope you did a search of these boards to know that S@H is offline
right now and not sending out any work units.

Seti is having problems right now, so give things time. Also make sure you firewall is set to let Boinc run.

Firewall Settings:
Go to Control panel, Windows firewall, then the exceptions tab and then the add program button. Add these two programs to the exceptions.
Boinc.exe
BoincMgr.exe
