I have Win98 so I'm not sure, but it should work.
What I have done:
Put empty floppy disk in drive
Select the cache/s you want to download and press export(be sure the floppy drive is selected)
To import put the floppy in the machine you want
Select the floppy drive and press import(this assumes the cache/s are all empty)
That should do it :)

Initially it will show a N/A, but a popup box should appear stating the import was successful. Click OK and the import should be complete.

Let's take it back
You have setihide running on a machine with internet access, that has downloaded work units from the seti server.
You have an empty floppy in the a: drive
Select one or more caches and export them to the a: drive (the cache folders will refill themselves if you have online connection)
Check the floppy to see if there is a list of cache folders
Look in the folders to see if there are files in them, these are *.sah file types
If all is well at this point, take the floppy out and transfer it to the machine that you want the caches uploaded on
Put the floppy in the a: drive, open setihide, go to the cache section and find the import button
Be sure the a: drive is selected, and local cache is the destination
Click import
If there are no cache folders on the machine setihide adds them automatically
If there are folders that are empty (I'm assuming they'll be filled, but not really sure) otherwise I would delete empty folders, before uploading, by going to the setihide folder in explorer and deleting the cache folders there.
Once the import procedure is done you should get a confirmation, if not then check to see that you can access the a: drive
If this doesn't help: Beyond a floppy or drive problem I don't know what else it could be
Good luck
:)

Select one or more caches
The cache shows up but its empty and says non exportable. The problem is not export or import per-say, but the lack of a data set showing up. Ill fool around with it some more. Thanks!

If you have files like these attached on the floppy there's no reason I can think you can't make the transfer. Keep trying, this is a puzzlement.

I only copied the work file. Were the files shown on the Jpg transfered by you or the seti program? Also what do I need on the other computer to run the work units?

You will need the command line client and setihide..and then use setihide to import.

Guess that would be helpful.
It is imperative that both machines be running the same Client and SetiHide combo.
This won't work with the Seti@home GUI screensaver.:x

I figured that would be the case anyway. Im not using the Gui. I think the problem is not downloading from seti right. Sooner or later!

Go to the team site Links and download 3.03, delete what you have and start with a fresh install of 3.03 and SetiHide.
Look for this line:
The file named '3.03 i386-winnt-cmdline.exe' to use with SetiHide.(Hosted at setieam)
That should get you back in business.

EDIT: For those wishing to get a simpler setup procedure skip to Scavenger 7's explanation later in this thread.
Just wondering, if the client is being configured on a comp without internet, how would it be able to configure files in the first place.
Maybe what you need to do is configure the new client on the comp that has access by placing it in a new folder and starting the client.(Don't have the existing client and sethide running)
Once it has taken you through the initialization there will be files in the folder.
Take all of that and transfer it to the other comp.
Then you can start SetiHide and it should start working on the work unit.
The import/export procedure should work as described after that.
Yes?

I did copy the zip files for both the Cmdline and Setihide then transferred them to the other computer. Then I copied the Work unit to it. It still doesnt work on my computer that has access though. I will try the above on my other computer and see what happens!

EDIT: These steps are not necessary if you copy the user_info as explained in Scavenger 7's post later in this thread.
Here's the deal:
You must start the dos client on the comp with internet access first. This will allow the client ti initiate and download a work unit.
Close the dos window and go to the folder. There will be a list of files. (see image)
Put all those files and the client (approx 350k) on the floppy.
Upload the files, from the floppy, to the empty SETI folder on the other computer.
Put SetiHide in the same folder and start it. You'll get a confirmation box for success.
Now start SetiHide and it should open and start crunching.
I hope that explains it :t

Doesnt look right to me. Also if you have to have the 3.03 it wont work for me. It took over ten minutes to download 90k.
I went back to 3.08. I also noticed that Setihide would create its own folder. It never was in my seti folder until I moved it there. It shows the cache but its inactive. Heres what it looks like.

Think we're beating a dead horse here, Frank.
I'm well aware that setihide is unzipped to it's own folder and you have to move setihide.exe file to the seti folder.
Are you doing everything as described? There is no reason this doesn't work. I think it's quite clear. If you're not getting the results that are pictured here I don't know what to say.
Open setihide > Settings > Seti client program name - If it is "undefined" type in the client name (as shown in Scavenger7's reply on the first page this thread (http://www.sysopt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134765) )
If that doesn't work, type in the full path to the commndline client.

3.08 has some minor issues with seti hide some times.. thats why we suggested 3.03.. the only diff between the 2 is the security update in 3.08, and 3.08 seems to crunch units a little bit slower...
i got 3.08 to work by entering it manually... then restart setihide.

I don't use SetiDriver, but Logan does. If 3.08 is working for you stick with it for a bit til you think you've got it worked out.
If you have SetiHide on other comps you certainly must know what it looks like when it's running properly.
Setting the priority to high won't make much difference except maybe for app performance being slowed.
