I just downloaded the newest BOINC version (5.10.7) on my brand spanking new Windows XP computer and am unable to connect to any project or any manager. I use BAM at home already.

I had this same trouble with my old computer here at work and finally gave up. I was never able to find enough information on these boards to help me.

I *think* that my problem is the firewall here at work. What I need is the exact information that I need to tell my IT department (my brother) so that I can poke through our firewall. We use a HTTP proxy, and I already put that information in, but it didn't help.

Any and all information (ports, etc) that you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance

boinc.exe needs internet access on ports 80 and 443 and local access (127.0.0.1) on ports 31416.
boincmgr.exe, boinccmd.exe and boinc.scr need local access on ports 31416.
