Default Running server with no Ethernet connection

Hi there I can set up and configure a server for use on the lan:
Static IP:
192.168.1.105
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

DNS
192.168.1.1

So that’s working but I wanted to take the laptop with me to work where there is no router / Ethernet connection and when I tried to run the server at work I realised that upon doing an ipconfig /all that there was none of the static info working on my card because the Ethernet is disconnected.

I’ve tried looking online to see if there is a way to keep your static ip address even if your Ethernet is disconnected but I can’t seem to figure it out. I’ve downloaded hyper-v and started playing with that but can’t figure out what I should do yet.

Anyone ahead of me on this and got this one nutted out?

Thanks

You can either install a 'loopback' driver for that address - which will need to be removed before connecting back to your router..

..or, you can simply make copies of your eqemu_config.json and login.ini files and switch between lan and localhost configs.


For your localhost config settings, just change everything to 127.0.0.1 and the 'network' setting in login.ini to
Code:
local_network = 127.0.0.
That should be the easiest to maintain.

Ok thanks I’ve set everything to 127 but still can’t connect, so do I need to install a loopback? In my ip config it doesn’t even have a 127 address

Ok I’ve installed the loop back Adaptor and am now getting an up address but it’s not a 127 address it’s 169.254.197.254 do I need to set a static or some other configuration on the loop back adaptor to get the 127?

Ok I set a static on the loopback adaptor (a 192 address) and that had worked thanks
For your help the loop back adapator was exactly what I was looking for!
