According to the Seti@home web site:




Does SETI@home work through firewalls (or proxies)?
SETI@home uses the HTTP protocol, and work through any semi-transparent
firewall that allows outgoing Web traffic. The latest versions of
SETI@home should work through more restrictive firewalls and proxies.
If you are having problems connecting through your proxy, you could also
look into SocksCap by NEC at http://www.socks.nec.com/sockscap.html and
Hummingbird Socks at
http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/socks/index.html Both let you use
software as if it were "directly connected to the Internet".


Looks like all you need is http open.

      Hello,
      does anybody know which port we should open on the firewall
      to let SETI@home
      work?

      SETI@HOME is described at
      http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/


      but I thought maybe some of you know what it is, and know
      which port it is
      on the firewall.

      Thanks,
