Topic 195466

I've been receiving the following errors on one particular machine for a couple of weeks. WU's have been downloaded and appear to be fine. Other BOINC projects are working just fine. Other computers are working fine. I've restarted the machine, checked my firewall, reset/detached the project, etc. No luck. Any suggestions?

extended http error

I found the problem. My Firewall was blocking *.exe files. Removed the block and things started humming along.

Most of us exclude Boinc from our anti-virus I guess now we will have to exclude it from the firewall too! I wonder if that will work for you...exclude Boinc but stop all other *.exe files?
