Yes, you can set it manually on the web-site preferences.  As for the
stats, I think I may have found a bug.  I have it set to auto-connect,
which it does.  The messages tell me that the WU result was sent back.
But refreshing the results page doesn't show the WU.  But when I right-
click and select "Update" the WU magically appears on the web-site...

Naw, the way boinc works is, the result is uploaded right after it 
finishes crunching, but it doesn't talk to the server to claim credit or 
any of that stuff until it is time for it to download more workunits (or 
six hours before the return deadline).

So, it isn't a bug, it's a WAD... 'tis just the boinc way.  :-)
