Credit on several computers

I have hooked on three computers via a lan. All are crunching and uploading results. In my account info, only one comp. getting the credits. The others are still on 0.00 Are the credits of the other two added to the credits of the main comp., or do I get credit for them seperatly?

So, to be sure I get it straight: all the credits are given to my account, and will be shown as credit to the first computer in the preferences screen on the seti-server. The two other comps. on the same account will not have separate credits in the preferences screen. Is this right?

Thx for your reply. Greetz from Holland ;-)

I'm having a similar problem, but in addition to no reported credits, my account stats are showing that-- after eight days-- some of my machines are not contacting the server (the last contact with the server is nearly identical with the day the machine was 'created'). On the other hand, all my machines are telling me they are sucessfully contacting the server daily to return completed-- and download new-- wus. I've been running both cp and seti for over a week now, both sites confirm the problem. All the machines in question are nearly identical, and are now using the same network connection. Could their similarities be confusing the projects' software?

I'm not a credit hound. I want to be reassured that everything is working right however-- especially since I'm runing BOINC through OS-X UNIX on these machines prior to loaning them out to other folks. I just want to move on to installing BOINC on other machines, and moving on to other tasks.

Ok, however still a little puzzled. The main comp gets credits added almost every day. Other two comps. nothing yet. However they are uploading and the server even makes copies of the same comp. in my computerlist. That indicates that the server has received the WU's. I only want to be sure that those comps are not crunching without seti getting the results.
