WAS WONDERING WHETHER I COULD FOOL MY 2000ADVAN SERV TO THINK THAT THERE IS A NETWORK ADAP CARD INSTALLED LIKE I COULD DO IT IN NT 4 BY INSTALLING MS LOOPBACK ADAPTER CARD. I REALLY NEED TO TRY THIS AS I HAVE TO WORK ON 2000 ON A STANDALONE MACHINE WITH ACTIVE DIRECTORY.

Best way is to disable media sense for your current NIC. Do the following.

Edit the registry in the following location.

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

add the following value.

Value Name: DisableDHCPMediaSense
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data Range: 1

For more info search Technet for disabling MediaSense
