I recently installed Zope on my home machine (running Win98 rather than Linux to appease my partner) which has a modem connection (dial-up adaptor) to my ISP but no network card. If I start the ZServer while working online, it correctly globs my dynamic IP. However, started offline it runs as localhost on IP 127.0.0.1 Starting Internet explorer and pointing to http://127.0.0.1, IE complains that it can't reach this URL while working offline. Is there anyway around this "problem" or do I need to install a network card simply to handle the loopback? I really would like to develop for Zope at home without starting a needless internet connection. Any advice is much appreciated. Cheers, Darran.
I had a similar problem many years ago. To get around it, I installed a software nic/loopback utility. For NT, you can use the Microsoft Loopback adapter in control panel|network|adapters|add|MS Loopback Adapter. On win98, I understand that the Virtual Private Networking adapter serves the same purpose, but I've never used it.

Sorry I accidentally M-d your previous post :( The problem, as I know it so far is IE. You must work online to access the localhost. But first, there might me another problem, namely resolving the localhost. So, run a dos prompt and see if your lo is okay by : `> ping localhost' and `>ping 127.0.0.1'. Both must work. Also I heard of some problems when resolving the `localhost' name, so if that's yours then edit `c:\windows\hosts' file and add an entry there like `127.0.0.1 localhost' or something. Then try tricking IE and access `http://2130706433/' which is just localhost in other words, except it doesn't try any name solving. Then, if IE sais you must work offline or try again, say `Try again'. Then, oh well, tell us what didn't work :-) -- CIMPOESU Teodor, Web Programmer @ DIGICOM S.A.
