Added BOINC.exe BOINCMGR.exe and BOINCCMD.exe to the Windows Firewall when I got it fo connect to "localhost"

How do I set up the ports in Vista?

Everything was going fine until I installed MS's LiveOne Care 2 weeks ago. I couldn't get BOINC to connect to "localhost" but finally worked it out by adding the pgms to the Windows Firewall.

Now I can connect to "localhost", but for the last week I've been tearing my hair out because now I cant get SETI to connect. All I keep getting is "Scheduler request failed: couldn't connect to server" and "Access to referenced site failed - check network connection or proxy configuration". I defers for one minute and retrys with the same results. I've tried uninstalling and installing different versions to no avail.

I'm on a broadband connection and haven't had to mess with the connection or proxy configuration before.

Any ideas??????
