[Zope] (Win98) Working offline ...

[Emile van Sebille]

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.
