JJ amigo - I think you've solved the problem. Not one of my Win7 systems had Boinc client in the Firewall allowed list. I added the Boinc client and now the Scan finds the Win7 systems. The Find still has some problems, but I can live with Scan.
Many thanks for your help - you get 10 stars
One more question - all the systems that I have tested are on the same router (some via LAN and some via WiFi). Can I do the same with a system in a different location, but via the internet?
I'll certainly sleep well tonight - muchas gracias

Hi guys , it's wonderful to have such support - many thanks for your efforts. Here's the latest:
1. I have upgraded all Boinc to 6.10.58
2. All the Win7 Firewalls did have entries for Boinc Manager, Boinc Tasks and Tthrottle - I didn't change anything
3. I have left Boinc Tasks at 0371 for the moment (it worked fine when I disabled the Win7 firewalls).
4. There is no other firewall present on the Win7 systems, and they are all running with MS Security Essentials
5. The problem is unchanged - the XP system & the Win7 localhost are seen, but no other Win7 systems
I'm going to bed now - will try again in the morning - Good night amigos

Sunday morning- switched off the Win7 firewall in all systems except localhosts - both Find and Scan found them all (but Find didn't find the XP system) - so it seem to be in 'incoming problem' as local hosts had no problems

In Boinc Tasks, what does a Status of 'Connected, Not Connected' mean?

JJ amigo - I am running Boinc 6.10.56 on all my systems. BoincTasks is level 0.71, and TThrottle is 2.10.
I turned off the Win7 Firewall, and everything worked perfectly. Scan found all the Win7 systems, they were connected, Boinc Yes was seen - no problems. My XP system is running Symantec Firewall, and it's setting are obviously correct, but I can't find out what to do on the Win7 firewall settings to get WIn7 to work.
At least we now know that its not Boinc, BoincTasks or Tthrottle - is the &^*&^*% Win7 firewall.

Thanks JJ - I have got Throttle installed  correctly as per your instructions, and it is working well on all systems. However, it's still only the XP system that is connected to localhost. No sure what I should do next.

Hi guys - I've tried everything I can think of, but no change. From the tests above, maybe I should install Throttle - any thoughts?
Following jjwhalen above, I installed Throttle on all systems
Boinc running on all systems
BThrottle running on all systems with BoincTasks enabled
BTasks only running on localhost
Find finds all Win7 systems (but not the XP system), with Throttle Yes, But no Boinc Yes. Ticking the check boxes to add a system will not hold the tick, and you cant add anything other than local hosts.
Scan finds all systems (including the XP system, where the Boinc Yes,Connected is present). Only the XP box can be added, and it works perfectly.
I am suspecting something in the Win7 Firewall or AV - where to next?

OK - No Throttle, debug mode on, added all computers manually with correct names and IP addresses.
Here's the log

What's the invalid socket???

I have exactly the same gui_rpc-auth.cfg and remote_hosts.cfg in all my systems (win 7 and XP) - The XP system is found on a Scan (but not on a Find) and I connect correctly. The Win 7 systems are not found at all on a Scan, but are identified on a Find, but with no Boinc "Yes" and hence no connection. Most puzzling!!!!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have removed the .cfg files from the ProgramFiles/Boinc directory and left them in the ProgramData/Boinc directory. When I do a scan for other computers, a remote XP system is identified correctly and I can access the tasks - no Windows 7 systems identifed. When I do a find, the XP system is not identified, but all Windows 7 systems are with IP addresses - but without a BOINC "Yes".
I will download what you recommend at try again.

I have installed BoincTasks on several remote windows 7 systems. When I do a 'Find computers' from the localhost, all are found with IP addresses, but no "Yes" in the Boinc field. When I tick the check box to select any of them, it clears itself immediately.
I thought at first to move my .cgf files (gui_rpc_auth and remote_hosts) from the ProgramData/Boinc directory to the ProgramFiles/Boinc directory, but this did not work (in fact, BoincTasks created it's own gui_rpc_auth.cfg in the ProgramData/Boinc directory with its own password).
So I reverted to the ProgramData/Boinc directories and have the .cgf files in all the remote systems.
The localhost works fine on all the systems, but I cannot get the remote systems connected.
