      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,
