I have tried different proxy settings but the same thing happens. Any idea what the problem is?

Regards, Sandra.

I\'d say there was a problem with your proxy setup.

I\'d say there was a problem with your proxy setup.

That\'s what I thought. But I could register the project with the same proxy setup. I also tried some other entries like proxy:8080 and no proxy ...
Do you have a suggestion what I can try to solve this?

Do you have to use that proxy server setting?
I had same problem, and dear BoincWici helped me.

\"Let me start out by explaining that if you are an individual that is using the BOINC Client Software at home, there is almost no chance at all of you needing these settings to make your system work with and of the project\'s Data Servers and web servers.

A proxy server is a special server that acts as a connection between the computer that you are using and the outside world. The two main purposes for a proxy server is to speed up access for frequently requested information, such as web pages; and to restrict access to the Internet to only a couple servers, making the process of securing the network much easier\" http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/index.php?title=Tools_Menu
