Hello,

I run BOINC on a Linux box without any problems.

I want to add another machine to my username.

I tried to install the windows client on a 2GHZ Athlon with 1Gig of memory.

A screen came up and I chose the click here if you are an existing member option. I then entered the same username, password and email address that is used on the linux machine.

I then get an error message saying:

Unable to connect to the grid server. Please try again. If you are using a proxy server, please verify the settings with your network administrator.

I tried to make a new username and it worked - but I only want one username for all the machines I use.

My internet connection is broadband using a router and ethernet to the PCs on the LAN.

The firewall allows the program access to the internet on all ports.

What can I do?

Many thanks in advance,

Terry.
