(moderation:
The firewall used for connection block my access to internet for E@H.

Any hints?

Its a firewall at work, in wich I cannot make any changes.
The problem is not related with outbound address. Its related to the format of data packet exchanged between Boinc client and E@H.
The firewall reports such lenghty packets as a menace, thus blocking them.
It seems that they do not respect some http standards. (don't ask me wich standard!)
What I would like to find is a setting in Boinc that controls packets size. I'm pretty sure that if I somewhat reduce their size, everything will be OK.
