When I click add project from the simple view it doesn't do anything. It also saying "retreiving current status" under a ever moving progress bar. I don't have any software blocking the connection. I am not running the internet through a gateway either. Not sure what is going on. Anyone have any ideas? Viking ID: 27240 ·

Try switching to Advanced view first, then go Tools->Attach to project. Does that start the Attach to wizard? If it doesn't, repair install BOINC, or uninstall and reinstall it. By the way, if this was a clean install (first time installation), did you reboot? ID: 27241 ·

Any suggestions? ID: 27353 ·

Do you get Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site If so, is this followed shortly after by Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down. ID: 27354 ·

If there's only 10-20 or so lines in the messages tab, can you please click the "copy all messages" button, and then paste them here. This should tell us how far BOINC gets. There's nothing user sensitive in them. ID: 27362 ·
