Sorry,not a good description of my problem..

I have been trying to set up seti@home classic on my work PC (it runs
in a most happy fashion back home on my iMac).

Trouble is - I cannot get past our work firewall. I have tried proxy
settings etc.

Sooo - is there a way to somehow down load several WU's at home, then
take them (via a CDr) to work, where  PC could run them... before
manually (or via a web based software pretend proxy prog) send em'
back?

Just wondering.

Yes there is.....just get a program that caches work units on your
imac and then copy some of those units to a medium, a floppy will work
since they are only 340k each. Copy them into directories at work
under Seti just like you got them from the imac. You MAY have to
renumber the directories to 1, 2, 3, etc.. Process them and then copy
them back to the medium and then back onto your imac at home when
completed. If you maintain the directory numbers at home on the imac
the imac will like it better.
There is some housekeeping to be done on each end though, the caching
program will have to not replace those units taken to work and then
each of the directories will have to be renumbered when the units are
placed into the work directories.
There are those in this group that have actually done this and should
be able to give you step by step directions, but you get the general
idea.
