Hi! I searched the FAQ's and didn't find anything on my problem, which is this: I Recently installed a switch inbetween my broadband connection to my computer. Eversince that I haven't been able to download any new WU's (uploading seems to work fine). I suspect that the switch contained a firewall of some sort and I suspect it is blocking the port which BOINc tries to connect with. How can I overcome this? ID: 135527 ·  |

It will depend on the switch or the router (it is usually the router that has the firewall built in). BOINC needs to get out on port 80.   BOINC WIKI ID: 135560 · |

Is there anyway of changing the port-setting on the BOINC-client or the firewall hardware? What message are you getting? Please cut n paste it to this post..... If I remember correctly (they dissapeared from my message with the last reboot and now the client can't find any projects) it just said "Cannot connect to host, retrying in ...... seconds" ID: 135597 · |
