I suspect this topic has been covered before and if so my apologies. I have a couple of machines in work running adverts/displays so as such they're not really using much CPU power and as they are on 24/7 it seems a waste not to put them to good use.

Unfortunately there is no way to establish a connection to the internet without physically moving the machines to an area with wi-fi coverage, plugging in wireless adapters and then moving them back again. I've no objection to shifting them once to get the client setup initially and connected to WCG however the practicality of having to do it once a week or more is none existent....plus the displays will be blank whilst I do it which is not really an option. Adding any kind of infrastructure wired or otherwise to get a connection to these machines isn't really an option either.

Essentially what I would ideally like to do is use my workstation computer which is currently connected to the network to download tasks as per normal, suspend the task, copy the task from the boinc program data folder to a flash drive then copy it to the display machines boinc folder, let it run the task and then copy the data back to the connected machine. Would this be possible or am I just barking up the proverbial tree?

Many thanks for any potential input and apologies if this seems like a stupid question.
