Running 5744 I forgot to say. I think a little bit that it worked on
previous builds.

what are you trying to accomplishe here, are you trying to run a website on
this box when no cable is attached. i can imagine, that the IP stack will
not start before the stack can connect to something lika a cable (working
NIC.) if you need this, you could try to install a Microsoft loopback
adapter, this gives you network features even though you do not have an
network.

Good luck

I have just ASP.NET project in VisualStudio and try to run it (on local
ASP.NET Development server).
I have never installed loopback adapter before, do I need to switch it on in
Vista?

I have IIS installed so I assumed it will open on localhost without any
other installations required.
Once the cable is connected, the information remains somewhere so I can
connect even after unplugging again.

I hoped this is widely seen, if I'm first person asking then the problem is
probably on my side and I should find some repro of course...

Thanks for answer,
Jan
