I have a hardware firewall. What ports do I need to open for BOINC to connect? I tried to do a keyword search but didn't find anything. |

> BOINC works only with 80 port. Do I need to open up port 80 for *incoming* connections from setiathome to my BOINC client, i.e. does the BOINC client listen on port 80? |

It does listen to port 31247 (I think, something near there anyway) for the future CLI-GUI combo client but that is not needed yet. John Keck BOINCing since 2002/12/08 |

This undocumented listening may cause some trouble when Windows XP SP2 is released... |
