Topic 188918

I'm new. I have just installed Boinc 4.19. When I try to connect BOINC to Einstein project using my new account data, I have received the message:

BOINC couldn't get main page for http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/. Please check the URL and try again.

Account data is OK and internet conn is OK because I can connect online to my account data

May you help me. I use W98SE

This smells like you are using a proxy. Check your proxy settings in your favourite browser and fill in those setting in the appropriate fields in boinc before attaching the project.

I have found the problem and the solution:

Although the installer don't ask for it, I need to reinit the PC (al least in W98SE)

Thanks
