I have a BOINC account set up and working on one computer. I want to use the same account and set up the program on another computer.

But when I put the same information in as I originally did (the URL: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu) and my account ID), I get an error message:

"BOINC couldn't get man page for http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/. Please check the URL and try again."

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Thanks,

Use this link instead to paste into the URL box when ataching to the project http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah

The setiboinc URL will not work anymore. Use http://setiathome.berkeley.edu instead. One way to do it is to copy the account...xml file from your working computer to the one that is having problems. Do that and you know the info is entered correctly and there must be some kind of communication issue.
