Hi All,

I'm now in the process of doing the transition. I hope it all ends up nice 
and transparent like Seti Classic. I was using SetiQueue. It basically ran 
itself with hardly any intervention from me.

So far got one up and running. Got to get another 9 machines sorted out.

Being new to the BOINC project, I wonder if one can set up a server and then 
feed the other machines from it? This is in case the server at Berkeley 
throws a pinkie!

That's what I liked about SetiQueue. If the server at Berkeley threw a fit 
you could still crunch units, even if it was down (like the Classic is now) 
I was still cruncing work units. That's why I heaps of them waiting to get 
uploaded.

Cheers,

Yes but you will have to put in a second network card and a router.
The first network card will talk to the modem, the second network card
will talk to a routher and then each machine will talk to the router.
In Boinc each machine must have its own connection to the net. So in
your case ICS, Internet Connection Sharing, which is built into
Windows will do the job.
You could also just put a router between the modem and all machines
like most people do and then you will have a "normal" setup. Then all
machines will go thru the router to the modem. This will cut down alot
of overhead on the first machine, making it faster.

You could alway make one of you machines a router by putting 2 network
cards in it and loading SME Server (linux). It has firewall, NAT, and
routing built in and is easy to load and configure (my last load took
10 mintues total). The hardest thing then is actually installing boinc
on a linux machine which is pretty simple.
