Just installed latest version (boinc_7.2.42_windows_x86_64) on my Windows 2011 server. It isn't connecting to get data. Any suggestions? Do I need to open a port?

Thanks.

A bit more information would be nice. Please see When requesting help on these forums for some pointers.

Well, service mode and usage of the Nvidia GTX 580 are incompatible - the GPU drivers are inaccessible to services, a Microsoft restriction.

If you want to use the GPU (and only the GPU), you'll need to run BOINC/SETI in user mode - and with a logged-in user as well.

Have done that and it didn't work either. I'll uninstall and retry.

OK, up and running. I redid the firewall setting once the reinstall completed.
