Ultra Light Client Guide and Reference
- The easiest way is to go into the DNS page of the TCP/IP bindings
(eg. Control Panel ->Network ->"TCP/IP->Dial-up Adaptor) and
set your host name to localhost. You will want to reset it
when you connect back to a network. A very useful shareware utility to
switch configurations on Windows based machines is NetSwitcher.
- Another way that has been successful is to do the following:
- Install ULC
- Install TCPIP on your machine.
- Win95
- Go to Network in your Control Panel,
- Choose Configuration and click Add.
- Now choose Protocol and select Microsoft as the Manufacturer.
- In the right hand pane choose TCP/IP.
- WinNT
- Go to Network in your Control Panel,
- Choose Protocols and click Add.
- Choose TCP/IP.
- After the above steps reboot your machine.
- Use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the hostName when
forming a URL.
- Note:
- On machines that are sometimes connected to the network and other times not,
the following have been found to help with varied degrees of success on
different machines.
- Leave the network card plugged in even if not connected to the
network.
- Enable DNS lookup but leave the list of DNS servers empty.
We will update this FAQ as soon as we get a more definite solution to this
