Are you running BOINC on the same machine you posted this message from? If so, it sounds like BOINC can't connect to the internet..
Have you a firewall installed? Has it been configured to allow access to the net from BOINC (it will use port 80)

BOINC will use port 80 by

BOINC will use port 80 by default. This is in the docs somehwere... not sure where! (I'm sure you will find it here at - Paul D. Buck's FAQ )
Anyhow your best bet is to configure your firewall to allow BOINC to access all site (web pages) on port 80.
HOw exactly you go about doing this is totally dependant on what firewall you are using...
