I cannot connect with any of the Project Web Pages, after BOINC ver. 7.8.2 (x64) was installed. My system is Windows 7, on a DELL Latitude E7240. Access is only via my ESP (EarthLink), and http route (Google). No difficulties have been encountered in downloading/running the WU's of various projects, however. |

Sounds like a firewall problem, or anti virus stopping things in their tracks. Do you still have the problem? |

Loss of access is still a problem, Ageless. I've tried temporarily disabling Norton 360 firewall, and Malwarebytes, with no access. Uninstalling/reinstalling BOINC has not improved things, either. I can live with this, for the while, certainly, until the problem is solved. |

The problem has been solved, Ageless. The default web browser, Internet Explorer, had lost its "default" status. I could still access the internet by clicking on the Internet Explorer icon, and access internet, via my ISP, EarthLink. My discovery was accidentally provided by Norton 360. When I clicked "Check for New Version", a window notified that that was not possible; no default browser was found. I then went and reset it as the default browser. I don't, yet, know why it lost its status, but will continue to investigate. Cheers, |
