I'm running boinc at present on this machine and it's done two units
thus far but continues to say zero credits. Why?

To find out what is happening go here:

http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/home.php

Enter your credentials, and - assuming you have cookies enabled - this link 
will then give you your current BOINC statistics every time you go there. 
This will include details of every WU, the credit you claimed, the credit 
you were granted, and details of other PCs which processed this WU. It would 
appear that they grant everybody credit somewhat below the average claimed. 
If - like me - you have 7 days of WUs cached (so that you can cope with 
outages like the current one) some of the results may take a few days to be 
returned, so your credit may show as "pending".

To increase the cache from 0.l days you need to edit your preferences and 
alter "connect to network about every ... days".
