|

OK, so BOINC was running just fine and then I decided that internet security needed to be upgraded so I actually went out and spent some hard-earned shrubberies on CA Internet Security.
It isn't too bad, after you get through all the initial list of software that is trying to do things on the internet.
But now I always get a Connection Failed message when I start BOINC.
Anybody have any experience with this? I suspect I have not set something to get through the firewall.
Cheers

While I don't have that perticular product, I think it is probably something you have to set as an exception within the firewall's settings (always allow the outgoing connection for Boinc). _________________ Fetch me the Holy Hand Grenade!

Shortly after posting this message, ie the next day... everything returned to normal???
Call me perplexed, I guess I did something, I only wish I knew what it was?
