on the machine which needs packages but lacks a network connection:
start synaptic, select the packages you want install, go to "File" 
select create download script. (don't close synaptic)

Save this file, move it to your other pc which has a network connection, 
execute this script
take all packages back to the other computer.
In Synaptic go to "File" -> "Add downloaded packages" -> select to 
folder in which the downloaded packages are located.
and you are done.
