under w2k professional environment, you really can't even PING to your self unless you plug the network cable into your NIC. anyway, it doesn't make any sense to run IIS, DHCP, etc if you are running standalone.

Will I be able to ping myself after plugging a cable? I want to run IIS and VAJ to learn some internet thing.

do you have any hub or another NIC on hand? if yes, just pluge your network cable into them to make a loop circuit.

I don't have a hub yet. I do have another NIC but I guess I need to install it in another PC to make a loop. Am I right? Thanks.

you could try to install the second NIC in same PC and just fool the OS, since what you need is a electronic loop circuit to make the Ping packets bounce back.

Hey, I think checkme is right. another choice is VMWare. VMWare and MS loop adpter are softwares. But VMWare is not free.

interesting, if you could short-cut pins 1,2 and 3,6. then it will work with no doubt. anyway, you're running too far away from the point! we just help and share with each other rather than showing off ourself.

Glad to hear you say so. People here are helping each other. It's no sensible to show off. If I have choice between face and help, I'd choose the later. :)

But if we can talk more comfortably about technical issues, more people would be willing to share their knowledge with others. Do you think so?
From what you say, I know the reason.

just did a quick looking up on your previous notes, seems like to me you are not only stupid but rather provocative.

What part of mine is wrong? I never use the word "stupid" but I have to say you are really stupid guy. I tried this in my laptop and desktop. Both of them works with a nic card without a cable connected.

Hey, stop hurting each other. It is better to lose face here than to lose on interview. I gain a lot from both of you. Thanks! Why don't be friendly?
