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.

wow they want you bad<G>

Ok I did all that and still nada....I have a question what is the Master
File that can't be fetched?

Could be any of a number of files.

Ok the program seems to have a wealth of mysteries going on.....I will try
your suggestion and load up one of the test versions.....should I remove the
version I have now first?
