That looks distinctly like a proxy server or firewall problem to me.

Are you running XP SP2 with the firewall enabled? If so make sure that boinc_gui.exe is an allowed application.

If you're using another firewall does it have any restrictions on port 80?

Hello!

I´ve got the same problem with my Linux box here. I even disabled the firewall completely, but that didn´t help me out. Can you?
There´s no proxy server running.

Thanks for your help. Please see http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=1135 this is my post...

&gt; I'm having the same issue, but SETI@Home works fine, so it can't be the
&gt; firewall.
&gt;
&gt; Any other suggestions?

Yes, the server is offline, look <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2471">here</a>
