Hi all... I've been wondering about this for quite some time. One of my rigs is behind a proxy, and in the past I've tried Find-a-Drug, Folding@Home, World Community Grid with no issues. Those clients have something in common -- options like "Automatic proxy configuration URL" or "use Internet Explorer settings."
On the other hand, those that didn't work are SETIDriver, BOINC and DIMES. I notice that these clients only provide a space to fill in "Proxy server address" and "Port." I know the address & port of this proxy server. It does require authentication, but I'm kinda clueless as to whether this is a HTTP or SOCKS proxy. Either way, nothing I've tried seems to work.
Anyone else facing a similar problem, especially with BOINC? Not sure if this needs input from the folks in the Networking forum.
