Hi, I'm new to BOINC and wanted to contribute some computing power but all my tasks fail after 10min and CPU is idle.
Can you help me with these logs:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/results.php?hostid=10870971&offset=0&show_names=0&state=6&appid=

Your computer reaches the end of boot stage 1.
To enter boot stage 2 it requires a script from a CVMFS repository.
This script can't be downloaded, most likely because internet access is not allowed.

To solve this allow internet access for the VMs to the ports mentioned here:

Shortlist for CMS VMs:
80
8000
8080
443
9618
4080
1094

Can you provide more info on how to do this?
I added the rule in Windows Firewall but I still got the same errors:

You need to find out where the packets are blocked.
It could be either your Windows firewall or your internet router.
Beside that your systems need an IPv4 address.


In addition it looks like you have messed the VirtualBox media registry.
Your first logs are pointing to drive "C:" while the last log points to "C:" and "G:".

To solve this you need to
1. finish all running VMs (suspending them is not enough)
2. use the VirtualBox media manager GUI to remove all BOINC related disk entries (don't remove the files when asked)
3. close the VirtualBox GUI and wait at least 10 s to let it's background service time out
4. if the firewall issue is solved start a fresh task
