I just downloaded the new BOINC client.

Whenever I attempt to attach to a project, I get a window requesting my proxy configurations.  BOINC will not connect without them.  Apparently

The proxy dialog is displayed if Boinc fails to connect to the project servers. The assumption is that a proxy is blocking the connection...

If you don't know that you are using a proxy then likely the problem is elsewhere. Sorry, more details needed from you if you need further help...

OK it's showing me a window asking for my HTTP proxy settings and my SOCKS proxy settings.  The old seti@home client just loaded and ran without all that.

Are you sure that your internet connection is active?

Yes, definitely.

Are Boinc and any Boinc clients permitted through your firewall and any "Internet Security"?

I see listings for everything else, but not BOINC.

Check through the install instructions at:
http://boinc-doc.net/boinc-wiki/index.php?title=Installing_the_BOINC_Client_Software_And_Participating_In_A_BOINC_Powered_Project

It says nothing about HTTP or SOCKS proxy settings.
