Ok, so why did you request help in the first place? Just so you could wriggle yourself out of it and not be helpful at all or try anyone's suggestions? You could've done it easier, and just detached from Einstein, without leaving a whole thread.

I have tried tried all of the suggestions people have made except 1. The one I did not try was changing the time. The reason I did not try that is because the amount of paperwork I had to do related to why my system time suddenly jumped a few months into the future was "not insignificant". I don't want to do that again. The machine does things other than run boinc. Some of those things "care about" what time the machine thinks it is. Should it run boinc given that? Probably not, but it does.
Please explain the following to me. You suggested that perhaps something at my end was getting in between my PC and the Einstein servers. I verified that nothing was both by talking to our network administrator and by "testing". I offer the following as recent "proof" that I can, from the machine in question, get to at least one of them...
When, in a browser on the machine in question, I enter the following URL (suggested by you)
It would seem to be that is not what I would get back if I couldn't get there...
The only reason I'm *guessing* that it's a time problem is because the problem didn't start until (essentially immediately, as near as I can tell) *after* my machine time warped and I tend to not be one who believes in coincidences. I'll be happy to be proven wrong when 8/10 rolls around.
In addition to everything I've done before, I have detached and re-attached to the project. To me it seems that one of the things that ought to happen when someone attaches to a project is that the software should verify that any normal communications (inbound, outbound, etc) are possible. Since even after re-attached I could not report results, I have to assume that either that is not done or there is some transient network problem that only occurs when my machine tries to report results.
Or is there some flag in my account that says "don't accept results from this machine, the guy behind the keyboard's a nut" :-)
The only thing i can think of is your internet connection is too slow for the server you're connecting to (or in combination with too much traffic at that server),
I tend to connect to the internet (on my laptop and netbook) via WiFi hotspot requiring a log on, sometimes i get a poor connection speed like 1 to 5.5Mbs,
some projects i can connect and report to no problem, others like Seti can take a few attempts, espicially if the project is busy post maintenance recovery,
Goodbye
