      Under the BOINC Manager "Options" Menu and make sure that neither the HTTP Proxy nor the SOCKS Proxy boxes are checked. If you are using BOINC 5.2.2 try the "Automatic . . ." Radio Button option under "Connections".

        I am having the same problem and I just downloaded the newest version 5.2.8. I have checked the Options page and bboth the HTTP and SOCKS proxy options are off. I have not checked either of them but I am still getting the proxy screen. As a result, I cannot go any further.

          Someone at seti
          seems to have found a workaround, at least.

          I just read in the BOINC

            I just read in the BOINC email I get that this may be caused by not being able to connect to the server.

            I think the advice for the moment is to first check your settings, and if all is ok, then just try again in a little while.

            Looking around the Q&A boards on seti today made me take a closer look
            at the new wizard. It is quite snazzy however one screen that I think
            needs a little tweaking is the Proxy information.

            As I understand it the proxy page is only displayed when the wizard
            fails to communicate with the project URL that the user specifies.
            However there is nothing on the screen to indicate that communication
            failed so most people are stumped by the screen and don't know what to
            do. Of course during seti's weekly outage today the proxy screen was
            coming up for anyone trying to attach during that time which spawned
            several Q&A threads about how complex BOINC is and how much simpler
            seti classic was, etc.

            So my suggestion is to add some text to the proxy wizard screen saying
            something like the following:

            "Communication with the project failed. If you are behind a proxy
            server, please enter your settings below. If you are not behind a
            proxy server, check your network connection, verify that the project
            URL is correct and make sure the project is up and running right now."

            Just a slight usability tweak that may help reduce confusion for new users.

            Above is the message I'm referring to.

              I am also seeing reports that the Proxy window pops up when they try to attach to a project while NOT CONNECTED TO LOCALHOST! Which is why they were trying to attach, because they assumed that everything had been lost...
