It is possible, but it means you have to constantly copy the whole BOINC (Data) directory to a computer that has an internet connection, upload & report the work done, download new work and copy that whole directory back to the machine without the internet connection. You must make sure that the machine that has an internet connection doesn't run BOINC on its own (as copying the work from the other one to and fro will mean you have to stop and possibly remove the machine's BOINC installation) or that you run the BOINC on the connectionless machine on something like a USB stick or other removable drive.

Thanks Jord I'll try that.
