I already have another computer working for Einstein@home. But, I'm trying to join a 2nd computer to the project. When I start the join project wizard, when it prompts for the project URL, I enter http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ as directed, but it comes back and says 'The URL you supplied is not that of a BOINC-based project. Please check the URL and try again.' I've tried several times over 2 days.

I did notice in the message tab there's a line that says 'Remote control not allowed, using loopback address' Don't know if that helps or not.

Any ideas? Thanks

Might be your firewall. Have you programmed it to allow BOINC access to the internet? BTW: The "loopback" message is normal - but you should post all your messages here if the firewall isn't it. Also, since you have a functioning BOINC, you should be able to compare messages to the one that works.
