I followed the instruction here: http://efmer.com/forum/index.php?topic=856.0
On a Windows XP x86 PC it worked in past.
Now an other PC with Windows 8.1 x64 it don't work.
From the 'log':
BoincTasks version: 1.67
Language ---- User: 1031 (DEU), System: 1031 (DEU), Selected: 1033 (ENU) Used: 1033 (ENU)
Maximum number of computers: Unlimited
Computers ---- xxxxxxxx , IP: localhost2
Computers ---- xxxxxxxx , IP: localhost
Start BOINC client ---- The BOINC client started OK

Connect, init ---- Host: xxxxxxxx, IP: localhost2, Port: 31426, connection error
What's different between XP and 8.1?
As I installed BOINC v7.6.22, there was during installation something like 'allow BOINC access to folder' or something...
IIRC, this wasn't happen on the XP PC, with an older BOINC version (for 2+ years in past).
Now on the 8.1 PC I need to allow someone the access to the BOINC2 folder?
It's important where the BOINC2 folder is?
Maybe it must be in the C:\ProgramData\ folder?
Maybe I must adjust the Windows Firewwall?
Open/allow a port?
It's important how I adjusted the Windows Firewall?
I can chose 'home' and 'guest/public' network.
Which I must chose normally, and/or if I want a 2nd BOINC client?
Thanks.
