and says No work avaliable.

Hey Devon,

You are attached to the right URL, work will be handed out when it becomes
available (in my experience setting up four machines). One machine took two
days to get work.

i just installed BOINC on my laptop here, yet it hasn't been able to

attach to the project, but it wasn't crunching anything... i
recently tried detaching from and reattaching it to the project,
and now i'm getting "BOINC couldn't get the main page for
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/. Please check the URL and try
again."... the "Messages" window has the following three lines:

Detaching from project

...do i have something set wrong?  :(
This is the correct page for Boinc:
http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/
To set up Boinc you need your user ID that they mailed you and the
url of the project. This is the url  http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
The reason you are not getting work is you are trying to connect to
the wrong url.
Detatch from the one you are attatched to and attatch to the url
above.
