Seti and Firewalls?

[damocles]

I want to load Seti@Home on to my work PCs. However we use a firewall. Is there a safe way to get around this (Os = NT)?

cheers

If you can get out with a browser, without having to use username and password, then seti can get out.

We have a firewall at my work too, but since seti uses port 80, there is no problem.
It's mostly with proxy it's a problem.
If this is your case, try setting IE's LAN connection to use your proxy.
If I use that way seti most of the time will be able to get out

Hope you get it to work

damocles,

My work PC's didn't have the ability to get out through MSProxy without entering Username/Password.....I then proceeded to setup a SETIQueue proxy on my own work PC and set it to cache WU's through the proxy. I then pointed all the Work PC's to that PC...Works great

Welcome aboad and good luck!

Ack, what's that program to get through proxies?? I think Windogg or Shux or someone is using it. I can't remember what it is.

Seems to be working fine, now i just hope nobody notices

Make sure you have permission to run it on all those PC's or TA can get in big trouble!!
