1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Run BOINC on non-internet PC? (Message 6896)

an internet connection would make things a lot easier, but if you've got a usb drive to move the files on then it can be done. Its probably not wise running directly from the USB drive though as they have a limited write capacity.

You just need to install boinc to a different folder than it runs in on the internet connected comp, and get it running Rosetta. Get a large queue and set a long run-time so it's got plenty to do. Then Exit BOINC and copy the folder to the same folder on the no-net computer, and start it by running boincmgr.exe.

You just need to exit BOINC and copy it back to the same location on the net pc every time to send/receive.

Just incase, if you need to change the location that Rosetta is running from, it's stored twice in the file BOINC\\slots\\0\\init_data.xml

Thanks very much Danny.. I do have a USB drive...so it looks like it wouldn't be tooooo bad if I only run a "different" project on the non-connected PC..... Well I ended up getting a router...re-configed the 2nd PC.. and I'm "On Line" .. :) ..running multiple projects!
Thanks again!

I would like to run BOINC on another PC that is Not connected to the Internet or a LAN.

Can I copy the BOINC directory to this PC, run BOINC, and when the data is complete, copy the data file to the registered PC for updloading the completed results?

So far, I have copied the BOINC directory to a 2nd PC and it is running ok. It also seems to have correctly started running from where the host PC left off..
I don't know if the results will be valid and if I can upload the results from the internet PC.

Thanks for your Help!
