Stand Alone IP Address

[zzfive03]

Hello, i am not a network person so this may not be possibel. Can someone tell me if it is:

Can i have a Windows XP machine, that IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERENT and have it assing some hard coded IP address.

When i try this, and do a ipconfig, i get a "media disconnected". All i want is to have my winxp box have its own IP, without being connnected to a network. (This is a laptop, and i need to resolve an ip for some stand alone software i am working on)

Thank you for any help.

Use 127.0.0.1
by default, it is the loopback of your NIC.

Add new hardware, network adapter, choose Microsoft Loopback Adapter. Assign IP address.
