[thelist] Win2K Pro/IIS 5 connection problem

[Salvatore Palmisano]

I sped-read right over the 'no network card' part of that, sorry.
Of course Glenn's advice is correct before resorting to altering the
metabase or reinstalling the os.

You need to install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

- Go to Control Panel.
- Start the Add Hardware Wizard.
- Add a device.
- Select "Add a device" from the list.
- Select hardware from list.
- Select Network Adapters.
- Select Microsoft as the manufacturer.
- Select the Loopback Adapter.
- Click Next to install it.
- Click Finish.

You can now give it an IP address, etc. It works just like a "real"
network card, it's just not connected to anything else.

You should be able to your hosting from here.

If you're using IIS, remember that you can only have one site under Pro.
Use Apache if you need multiple sites.
