This may be part of the answer to this problem (from S@H web site) -

November 25, 2005
We are getting reports of problems attaching to SETI@home, and are
working to resolve them.
If you get stuck in the Proxy Info dialog, make sure you're connected to
the Internet and that BOINC is not blocked by a personal firewall. More
help is here.
If you're not getting email with your account key, make sure your ISP
isn't blocking email from SETI@home, and try again.
If the BOINC Manager fails to connect, try restarting BOINC (this
problem will be fixed in the next BOINC release).
Please go to the Questions and Answers area for help.

I did, but found no answers to the problems of gtt. I encountered the
same problems, but found no answers, which ports and which protocols
the BOINC client uses to configure my extern firewall in my DSL router.

The most funny thing is, that my seti@home screenblanker (the new one)
works and I get credit points.

Have a good chrismas time and greetings from germany.
