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
