If that's ZoneAlarm, then look in the 'control centre' to see what it
has set for the seti program. You could also check the tick box for it
to produce a txt log and then look in that to see if seti is getting
blocked.

Ok I use the latest version of Mcafee Security Suite and disabled
everything.  I guess I could unstall the thing and try and reinstall Mcafee.
How would I know if the Windows firewall is running.....I don't have sp2
yet....been putting that off.

Look on the "advanced" tab of your internet connection (properties?). It might be hidden under the tcpip details. Ignore the dire warnings that "MS Knows What Is For Your Own Good" clicky dialogue thingie.

SP2 at last does block a few things in the default firewall settings. Shame that there's the usual obfuscation about /what/.

That SP also knocks out some 'third party' software...


Good luck!
