Some computers in our network has not internet access.

Is it possible?

Yes. You must download tiles to your machine respecting folder structure and the just use "file://" instead of "http://" in your .ttkwp file.

Please consider also exporting are of interest to PixelStore. Will be easier to deploy single file than thousands of tiles.

What is file format? OBF, PBF, OSM...
OpenStreetMap suggest to download pbf: https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/planet-latest.osm.pbf (40Gb).
DoesTGIS_LayerWebTiles support single pbf file?

TGIS_LayerWebTiles supports only local or web tiled images, not osm and pbf vector files. To use such big pbf file you should consider importing your file to database e.g. postgres or/and export tiles as images using tools like mapnik or osm2postgis. Then you can use our webtiles layer to display them from web service. For single small osm or pbf files you can use TGIS_LayerOSM layer to display OpenStreetMap styled map in the viewer.
