Can you mine on same wallet from multiple PC?

@Dario's-wallet Will the Windows client recognize the drive now that it's concealed as a folder when plotting and mining?
Will it show up on the drop down menu when you are about to plot from the client?

If I don't want to run a wallet on each PC I'm mining on, can I run the wallet on a single machine on my lan and point all my mining PCs at it? Or does the wallet have to be on the same PC that's doing the mining?

@zyzzyva you dont have to have a wallet on a pc your mining with.
you only need to do this if your solo mining. but you could run a wallet on a single machine and use the pool software i put in the software section on this forum and use that if your solo mining with multiple pc's

If you are pool mining, you want to make sure you are mining to a pool without a penalty. If you do that, you can mine from multiple PCs to a single pool with the same wallet.
Edit: Moved to general discussions.

Blago's miner has the "proxy" function/parameter to do this. You have to configure it by hand though.

Thanks, all! I'll check out both the pool software and Blago's proxy config.

Yes, exactly. Also if you want to set up this function, you can use it also to avoid the pool penalties for lower deadlines, check out this blago's post on bitcointalk, it's also useful to understand how the system works...
EDIT: Last thing, if you want to solomine a good idea is also to run the observer: mail notification if wallet is forked/stucked

@Vanquish Sorry I don't use the AIO, but I guess that it doesn't recognize each folder/drive. You need to plot manual.

@Dario's-wallet Gotcha, thanks for the reply.

I was thinking about this, and I'm happy to use the pool software, but I'm curious why you can't solo mine to a wallet on another computer, if you've opened up the wallet's API port and it's accessible to the mining PC. Is it a security issue around sending the passphrase? Or time synchronization? Or is there something else?
