OT: loopback network under xp (for locally testing Fortress Xbase Server 1.04)

| Hello friends,
Has anyone used Fortress under win XP on a stand-alone
pc? Had a small test app that runs well in Fortress env under
stand-alone win 98se; under xp, the client app generates
error 10003, which the docs indicate as not able to find the
IPX layer. I tried to configure the NIC with loopback address
127.0.0.1 and installed the NWLink, IPX/SPX protocol,
but since no cable attached to the RJ45 port, the task bar
shows an icon LAN not ready, no cable connected.
The fortress server starts normally, so i guess IPX is
installed and running well; could 10003 be related to the
fact the no cable is connected to the NIC?
any suggestion most welcome
thank you
frank

| Frank,
this is simple:
Just install the Microsoft Loopback adapter - it can be found
as a NIC in the Network devices that come with xp.
Bind the ipx protocol to it ... and voilla .. here we go.
This also works with ADS on a single pc like a laptop ;-)
