I have access to 2 2.1Ghz machines, but neither of them have a connection to the internet. Is it possible to downlod WU for them on another machine and transfer them to the remote machines for crunching. Then copy the results to a disk and upload on an internet connected machine? Just curious, because these 2 machines run all day long, and really don't do much at all.
Thanks,

Yep. What you need is to copy SETI Driver in each of the machines. This copy should carry at least a single WU downloaded, both the root and the cache folder.....
Afterward you just need to copy the cache folder from teh machine with internet to the unconnected one. Use SETIwatch to check which folders have already been crunched in that system. Pass them to the movable media and copy the new WUs. Then move the finished WU to a connected machine and transmit them.
What I like to do is change the number of the cached WU, adding a 1xx or 2xx to each of them, so that they do not overwrite a current folder.
