I am in a situation where I need to change my Seti Classic machines, that have been using SetiHide over to all BOINC enabled versions. My group of PC's has one machine acting as a WU server to the others as only it has internet access. How can I do the same using BOINC?

You have to set a proxy up on the internet machine, and all other machines go throught the proxy. You set up Boinc on all the machines. Then tell Boinc to go through the proxy. Below is part of the transition info:

What SETIQueue (and related programs) still work?
These programs, which have been very useful with SETI@home Classic, won't work with BOINC. But some of their functions can be performed by other means:

The buffering of multiple work units is provided by the BOINC client itself - you can specify how much work your computer should get each time it contacts the server.
Hosts that are not directly connected to the Internet, but share a LAN with one that is, can participate in BOINC using an HTTP 1.0 proxy such as Squid for Unix or FreeProxy for Windows.
Hosts that have no network connection currently cannot participate in BOINC. A solution may be developed in the future.
