However, although I have installed BOINC, it is not letting me attach to the project. Instead, when I enter the URL, it gives me the following message: \"Project not found. The URL you supplied is not that of a BOINC-based project. Please check the URL and try again.\" This has happened with the suggested URL from the Getting Started pages (climateprediction.net) and when I have tried a couple of variants (putting www in front of the address, entering http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ etc.) ID: 30169 · Reply Quote

Interestingly, though, in the screen shot on your post, the BOINC manager lists a variety of projects as well as having the URL box at the bottom, but my Project Selection box is completely blank. Does this have anything to do with it? Steven ID: 30171 · Reply Quote

It would be interesting to know whether that list in the project selection is still blank, as it may be fetched from BOINC directly rather than from CPDN. If it is blank then you may need to adjust the proxy further to get BOINC fully working (and to receive the occasional message from BOINC about upgrades etc.). ID: 30175 · Reply Quote
