Ok I just checked my firewall log and this hit at 9:07pm

A computer at IP Address 152.1.109.52  has attempted an unsolicited
connection to TCP port 1024 on your computer.
TCP port 1024 is commonly used by the "Reserved / NetSpy Trojan" service or
program. The source computer has scanned your computer for this trojan, but
it has been blocked by your firewall.

So there is no way I am dropping it just to see if Seti works.

Disable it long enough to attempt a connection to the SETI@BOINC
server; if the connection works, you need to adjust the settings
on your firewally. If it doesn't, the problem isn't the firewall.

Reactivate it immediately after the test.

My system has been probed 500 times over the last two days and 
nine hours--and this is over a dialup link that is not up 24/7.

EXACTLY what I was trying to get her to try!
Shut the firewall down for a few minutes and try Boinc, if it works
your settings need adjusting, if not then the problem lies elsewhere.
But until you are willing to try, you are without Boinc and I guess
will be for quite awhile.
