Fine, but then: where *is* the problem ? i.e. why doesn't "my" BOINC
find setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu ?

Which boinc version do you use ? - Have you tried to installed the new 
one ?

I have de-installed it and repeated the download and installation.
Despite the fact that the version seemed to be still the same (at
least the version number displayed by Win'XP on the properties-tab
of the installation exe-file has not changed, but may-be this is not
what matters because it may just be the installation software version)
I have now a better behaviour. "About BOINC manager" says (now) that
it is version 5.2.13, I probably did not try this before ...

I'm still getting some messages saying
	"Couldn't connect to hostname [setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu]"
or	"Couldn't resolve hostname [setiboincdata.ssl.berkeley.edu]",
may-be this is a problem with the internet connection: I use ISDN (and
not TV cable or xDSL with which you are connected whenever the PC
and Windows are on), BOINC says when it needs a connection but
not when I can close it (I don't let it close automatically by BOINC
because I like to use a connection for mail, news or web surf when
I have it) and I don't understand yet precisely what it is doing from
what is shown in the work and messages tabs of the BOINC manager.

Nevertheless it seems that by now 1 SETI@home WU has been treated
completely and the result sent back to the server(s) because I found
it acknowledged in the SETI website. Another one seems to have
finished work and the upload must have begun, but it probably has not
yet finished with the upload process, because: 1. its comment in the
manager says "uploaded, ready to give the message" (free, may-be bad
translation from German, because I don't quite understand what the
German text itself means) 2. when the 1st WU got at last acknowledged,
its entry in the work tab of B. manager had disappeared, but for this
unit, it is still there. A third WU has reached 98 % ...

Question: how can I activate the SETI@home graphics ? I'd like to see
them from time to time (with classic, this was always the case at
upload-download time) but don't want to use always BOINC / SETI as
my screensaver ... is there a possibility to see the graphics without?
(There seems to be a button for this purpose in one of the B. manager
tabs, but it is inactive, I wonder why.)

Can you access setiathome.berkeley.edu from a browser on the affected 
system ?
Have you tried, if you attach to a other project from this system ?
Have to tried to detach an re attach to the seti project ?
