Why do I get this message. I am connected to the internet. My firewall allows boincmanager.exe to connect there is no entry for boinc.exe.

Running Windows 7 Home Premium with 25/25 fiber connection.

...there is no entry for boinc.exe...

That's the problem. It's boinc.exe which connects to the servers, not the manager.

So how do I get boinc.exe entered in my firewall?

Start->Control Panel->System & Security->Windows Firewall->Advanced Settings.

In the Window that opens, Action->New Rule.
- Program
- This program path: C:\program Files\BOINC\boinc.exe or in case of 32bit BOINC on 64bit OS c:\program files(x86)\BOINC\boinc.exe
- Allow the connection.
- Check only Private when you only have a LAN connection. Also check Public when you use 3rd party WIFI connections (such as libraries, airports etc. on a laptop).
- Name: BOINC client, Description can be whatever you want.
--> OK.

Done.
