I cannot connect with any of the Project Web Pages, after BOINC ver. 7.8.2 (x64) was installed.
My system is Windows 7, on a DELL Latitude E7240. Access is only via my ESP (EarthLink), and
http route (Google).

No difficulties have been encountered in downloading/running the WU's of various projects,
however.

Sounds like a firewall problem, or anti virus stopping things in their tracks. Do you still have the problem?

Loss of access is still a problem, Ageless. I've tried temporarily disabling Norton 360 firewall, and Malwarebytes, with
no access. Uninstalling/reinstalling BOINC has not improved things, either.

I can live with this, for the while, certainly, until the problem is solved.

The problem has been solved, Ageless. The default web browser, Internet Explorer, had lost its "default" status. I could still
access the internet by clicking on the Internet Explorer icon, and access internet, via my ISP, EarthLink. My discovery was accidentally
provided by Norton 360. When I clicked "Check for New Version", a window notified that that was not possible; no default
browser was found.

I then went and reset it as the default browser.

I don't, yet, know why it lost its status, but will continue to investigate.

Cheers,
