Hey I tried those things stated their but they don't seem to work. first of all it took me ages to find the files on my mac.
But than there was no file call cc_config and when i tried to create one these were the messages that came up
Mi 10 Dez 14:23:46 2008||Missing start tag in cc_config.xml
Do you know where exactly all those files should be on a mac or if there are generally any differences using a mac for the Proxy help?

<cc_config>
<log_flags>
<file_xfer_debug>1</file_xfer_debug>
<http_debug>1</http_debug>
<http_xfer_debug>1</http_xfer_debug>
<proxy_debug>1</proxy_debug>
</log_flags>
<options>
<force_auth>basic</force_auth>
</options>
</cc_config>

This is the text that I saved as a xml file using "text edit"

my only formats are rtf doc and xml

If they are not optimal would you know a programm that could save the text in this certain format you mentioned?

I know put in the config_cc file in the given format. this resolved the problem of there being an error message concerning this file. But it didn't solve the problem of connecting. I can conect to the service for logging in for a new project but not to the actual project.
Now i used the ntlm in the place your site told me. (simply because when trying to open videos it says type in ntlm network varification)
It seems to me as if BOINC wouldn't react to the file. Simply because when i copied the link given to make boinc show you the type of proxy that showed no reaction.

This is again the error message:
