Internet ok but wont connect

I get the hang on waiting to connect to server.

I'm running it on windows XP with the most up to date version.

I have the firewall disabled and do not have a proxy.

Anyone have any idea why it won't connect?

I really want to get this machine up because it is one of my main assets.
(a 4.03 ghz Pentium D)

Cheers!

Spacegy4,

Check the message tab and see if you see the problem. Can you post what you see? That will help the Advisors diagnose the problem.

Re: Internet ok but wont connect

Hi,

Firewall disabling and disabling is 2 things. Some firewalls even interfere while still installed.

Have you visited the related FAQ? It's still in draft so if you go there and work through http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=21796#182568

let us know there then if unresolved: Can you please re-start your client, go to the BOINC message tab or window, select all messages from the top to after you have the "waiting..." copy/paste/post them in that thread linked above so we can read the sequence.
