Thinking about and reviewing this thread from the start I think there may be ( for want of a better phrase ) a 'deep discontinuity' in your operating system setup, probably undiagnosable in detail. May I suggest in the following order:

- contact your ISP ( help desk or whatever ) and enquire as to whether they are blocking ports ( particularly the ones used by BOINC - 1043 and 31416 ), outside of the usual http/ftp/etc ones. Maybe they are selectively firewalling. After all you can reach and read us here ( on port 80 ). If that does not solve the problem then:

- remove and then re-install your ISP setup. Use Add/Remove Programs preferably or just Autoplay the disc your ISP gave you ( if so ). Basically follow whatever you did with the first time install. If that does not solve the problem then:

- re-install Windows. This does not require a new partition, or re-formatting, or any loss of your current settings or installed programs. It will simply refresh/overwrite/re-configure. If that does not solve the problem then:

- Dunno ;-(

Cheers, Mike.

Haven't had time to do much

Haven't had time to do much except let boinc run all day to no effect.

Here is isp response:

Jason G: The list below depicts the specific ports which Road Runner blocks. In most areas, the inbound port 80 block will prevent the ability to remotely use File and Print Sharing. It also disallows remote connections to HTTP (web) servers, and other server applications that are hosted on your home computer.

80 Inbound
135 DCE endpoint resolution
136 PROFILE Naming System
137 NETBIOS Name Service
138 NETBIOS Datagram Service
139 NETBIOS Session Service
445 Microsoft-DS
593 HTTP RPC Ep Map Outbound
67 BOOTP, Bootstrap Protocol, server
68 BOOTP, Bootstrap Protocol, client
BradLund: So 1043 and 31416 should be open on your end?
Jason G: Yes.

Don't know if any of this is significant enough to follow up. As for reinstalling my software, doesn't the fact that that there have been successful ul/dl suggest thats not the problem?

Hmmmm .... all rather interesting ( stroking beard, looking wise ). Well if you're game, I am. Send me a Remote Assitance Invite ( to )! Go to Help and Support Center and click Invite a friend to connect to your computer with Remote Assistance.

Brad,
You may have to go back into Services and enable it. Be sure to check for any dependencies while there. BUT, it may be as simple as right-click "my Computer" icon, select "Properties", on the Remote tab, check "Allow Remote Assistence". Let's hope it happens the easy way for you, for once. :-)

Arrghh ......

'Remote Assistance connection could not be established because the remote host name could not be resolved. Please try again'

Are you sitting behind a proxy server? That might explain a lot. ;-(
