Moving workunits between systems may not be a trivial process. Let me know 
how it works out.

I'm Win7, that directory isn't here.

I don't use Windows myself, but I gather from postings on the S@h 
message boards that recent versions of BOINC and/or Windows put the data 
in a hidden system directory unless the installer is told to do 
otherwise. In the Messages tab, look at the first few log entries after 
the Manager starts up; one of them should give the path to the BOINC 
Data folder. Or browse the Windows Q&A forum at

The only easy way to transfer work from one machine to another is to 
copy the entire BOINC directory, in effect cloning the host. Individual 
WU files simply taken from another system will be either ignored or 
discarded, and even if you can trick the client into recognizing them 
(by hacking the client_state.xml file or whatever), IIANM the BOINC 
servers will only accept results from the system to which they were 
issued (as identified from the content of certain data files).

Thanks for the info, if it's that much work then forget it. I'll run 
BOINC on both machines.

Before Boinc, there was SetiGate, which allowed the queuing for a bunch of machines on one, thus
possibly exposing only one to the Internet.
