Attached to the project & setup an account online but Boinc Manager isn't properly initializing so I'm getting no work (on two Linux systems).

Suggest you check the server time as the BM log flags I set suggest the server thinks it's 1997 (header).

Also, is the reverse DNS pointer record setup?

TIA

Try to reset the project
BM will receive a master file with a new scheduler address (instead of the old ip address with a non-standard port)
Old WUs were left with the old wrong address, but new ones will already be with new links to files

I reset the project. Was not attached when you only had an IP (no domain).
That seemed to allow the project to initialize but now I cant download tasks. I get them but they don't download.
Getting Project backoff.
Log says, Project servers may be temporarily donw.
Temporary failed download, Transient HTTP errors.

skgiven, does this seem to be the case?

Did you try to create cc_config.xml with

<cc_config>
  <options>
    <http_1_0>1</http_1_0>
  </options>
</cc_config>

?

Thank you! Happy crunching!

Thanks, tried that but the problem turned out to be a firewall issue, not on my systems or with the ISP, but on a local router!
Will need to man-manage the router to contribute here. For now I have downloaded work & it's running...
