This I think shows up more for people on dail-up.

Here is what use to happen:

When you open BOINC Manager and you have your network set to "ALWAYS" BOINC would show a message that it was connecting to the internet. Once it connected another message would pop up saying that BOINC had made the internet conection was made and it would transfer the files. If a connection didn't work it would give the message that BOINC failed to made a internet connection.

Somewhere along the way the programing got messed up where you get the "BOINC has failed to make internet connection" even after the connection was made and the files were in the process of being tranfered.
