Hi Bo/Jan,

Thanks for the info.

Installed MS Loopback Adapter, but could not make it work. How to setup this
Adapter?

My Local Area Connection Adapter Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) has following
properties-

IP Address : 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.0.1

I tried to setup Loopback Adapter properties as-

IP Address : 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway :
Preferred DNS Server:

But it didn't work.
I also tried to disable my Local Area Connection and only keeping Loopback
active, but no luck. How do I point my Local Area Connection to Loopback
instead of actual network?

Local adapter(s) remain(s) pingable etc. However I would recommended to use
that on

Adding DisableDHCPMediaSense = 1 worked, but after that my laptop took a lot
more time to boot. Is it normal? Boot time went back to original after
removing that registry entry.


Regards,
Rad.

DWORD registry value:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DisableDHCPMedia
Sense
set to 1

prevents Windows XP from destroying TCP/IP stack of unplugged adapter. Local
adapter(s) remain(s) pingable etc. However I would recommended to use that
on computers with static IP address(es) only. See
