Can't connect to servers under Vista.[Resolved]

I can't get rid of "Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down."

I'm running 64-bit Vista Ultimate on a brand new HP Pavilion dv4t-1400. I've installed "wcg_boinc_6.2.28_windows_intelx86" from the world community grid site and "boinc_6.6.41_windows_intelx86" from the berkeley site.
I have a rule in Norton Internet security allowing all communication for boinc. I've tried a connection after turning off all the firewall features in Norton. I've verified that Windows Defender and Windows Firewall are both turned off.
I have a Linux box and an XP box on the same network that are both working fine. BOINC works fine on the linux partition of this machine.

No joy after all this. What else can I try?

Re: Can't connect to servers under Vista.

maybe the usual... ca-bundle.crt file missing or not in the right pplace. See Start Here FAQ's how to fix, if so the case.

That said, factually that file is in the 6.2.28 release and would be surprised it is not in the 6.6.41, quickest promoted from draft to "recommended" on record, well almost... it fixes a zero file size bug that some projects had, not relevant to WCG.

How about posting a good portion of your message log, so we can see the steps the client takes?

I have a ca-bundle.crt in C:\Program Files (x86)\BOINC

The "Account manager error: file not found" is related to me attempting reattach to the account manager using my website login. I'm absolutely sure that I've got the right username/password and that it's typed correctly. Don't know if it's related or not. I know it has worked. why it's not working now, I have no idea.

Re: Can't connect to servers under Vista.

Is there a proxy somewhere?

No. I've got a wrt54gs running dd-wrt as a router/firewall, and a Actiontec M1000 DSL modem between the machine and the internet. I've done quite a bit of work on the configs of both.

Also, the other two running BOINC clients and the one that works on the linux partition of this machine argues against that being the issue. Also, I've never had to configure a proxy for any other network application.

It's got to be something on the Vista partition, I would think.

Re: Can't connect to servers under Vista.

Could be permissions. Rerun the installer taking repair option. Maybe that sets things right.

Did this and noticed something odd in the log...

Using HTTP proxy www.worldcommunitygrid.org:80

No idea how it got in there, but I cleared it and got a download...

Got another problem, though.

10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks
10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid You used the wrong URL for this project
10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid The correct URL is http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid You seem to be attached to this project twice
10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid We suggest that you detach projects named World Community Grid,
10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid then reattach to http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid attached to a project named World Community Grid (possibly with wrong URL)
10/23/2009 1:55:56 PM World Community Grid Consider detaching this project, then trying again

That shouldn't be too hard to resolve. Thanks for your help.

Re: [RESOLVED] Re: Can't connect to servers under Vista.

Great... proxy, no proxy... you seem to be ready to lick this one taking the proper address shown in the log to attach to WCG.
