Could I run BOINC on a computer which is not connected to the internet? Is it possible or not?

No, it's not possible. You can run WU on your PC without connection but you have to connect for upload and download WU.

I temporarily used a workaround:

I installed BOINC on my not connected machine and copied the whole folder to my usb-stick, then ran boinc on another machine directly from the stick, waited for BOINC to download WUs and exited BOINC. Then I copied the folder back on the first computer and ran it there, till the work was done and so on.

Maybe you have to install BOINC on the other machine first to run it properly (not sure).
