I have installed Internet Explorer 8 using PlayonLinux. Now I want to somehow copy these two programs to other computers. What should I do. The other computers don't have access to internet.

As for PlayOnLinux, you may encounter some problems installing it on a system without internet connection. When you lookup POL's dependencies, you'll get:
Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2), wine | wine-unstable,
unzip, wget, xterm | x-terminal-emulator, python-wxgtk2.8,
imagemagick, cabextract, mesa-utils, gettext-base, binutils,
gnupg, icoutils, x11-utils, curl, netcat, bzip2, p7zip-full
Some of these packages will already be installed, others won't. And all of the not-yet-installed packages have dependencies themselves. Without a internet connection, you'd have to satisfy all these dependencies manually.
Luckily, there are programs and some workarounds to help you. Quite a few are listed as answers to this related question. Choose what you like the best ;)
As for IE, PlayOnLinux stores it's config and virtual disks in ~/.PlayOnLinux.
Simply put the whole directory on an USB (You may have to press Ctrl+H to show hidden files), and paste it in your users home folder on the target machine.
Then start POL, go to Configure, select the virtual drive containing IE, remove the shortcut to IE, then select General, Make a new shortcut, select iexplore.exe, and finish to recreate the shortcut, creating a system launcher with adapted paths.
