I've got a couple of computers capable of running seti, how do I set em up to run it?
Do i have to do anything special for them, or can multiple computers run off the same username?

Just setup the computer accounts to have the same email address. It's that easy!

Let me put it differently.
I have a dialup connection which I can leave on most of the time, and I have a LAN, and some older computers without ethernet. I'm already running localtalk bridge for my laser, so i can add the other comps easily. But how do I get em to all have net access?

This is an enormous question with many more non-seti implications than seti implications. Also you really need to do a better job of specifying your system requirements and existing components including CPUs, platforms, OSs, etc..
I have a multicultural (MSWindowsNT, MacOS9 and MacOSX) system and ISDN. Formerly I had the same system with a 56K phone modem. The way I bridged my 10baseT ethernet LAN to the Internet was via a dedicated antique MSDOS PC running a program called IPROUTE which handled dialling the phone and doing "Network Address Translation" or NAT to fool my ISP into dealing with only one PPP assigned IP address while each of my computers had their own.
You can see already that this gets pretty complicated. It's kind-of fun learning how to do all of this though.

yeah, i've heard of a number of ways that people have done this, but all have required extra software (read "money") to set up. if you think it's worth it, look into an internet router gateway app. (maybe post in the networking or internet software forum, too)

Supposed your LAN comps are macs, that's the second reason to try out seti unit manager. ) SUM crunches any number of units offline in a row and you can collect the results from the stations whenever you want (by floppy disk or whatever). http://212.86.34.76/sum/Readme.html#crunchworkstations

OK, I got all my PowerPC macs online.
I'm using IPNetRouter.
I've got a B&W G3-400, a PM8500-120, and a PM6100-66.

If you can't get them connected, I have been able to use SETI Unit Manager and manually transfer the contents of the units in/out folders via zip disk to a connected Mac. Tried it a couple of times and had no trouble. Easier for me to switch the ethernet cable for DSL since both my Macs sit next to each other. They both use SUM with a unit cache of 30, so I up/download every couple of days.
