I think the problem is on my end, because it is only happening on one machine. Powermac G5 Dual 2.3 OS X 10.4.11 I Can't attach to any projects or submit completed work units, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client, restarting my computer including deleting data and preferences files. It's also worth noting that none of the other machines are PPC macs.

Try if 6.10.44 can do it. It was built with c-ares 1.6.0 instead of c-ares 1.7.0, because the newer c-ares has problems resolving host names on OS 10.6 with default settings when used with AT&T U-Verse 2Wire gateway routers and Airport.

And if that one then works, please consider becoming a BOINC alpha tester for the Mac. Please see this thread for more information.
