Hi,

I was wondering how Win2K deals with that old NT4 loopback adapter, what happens if I install for testing purposes Win2K Server in home (no NIC).

Please your comments will be appreciated,

If you want to install Win 2k Server at home you should install Microsoft loopback adapter. It is very simple. Go to add/remove new hardware at control panel. Start it and click next 2 times. Then choose add new device, click next. And then choose "No, I want to select hardware from a list:, next. Coose "network adapters", next. Find Microsoft-Loopback adapter, and install it. That is all you need to do. Now you can simulate network. Hope this is all you needed.
