Hello NG,

i ve got a problem, as usual :). Im developing a Software with
PocketPC2002, unsing Visual Studio on a Windows XP machine.

I've wrote a application which uses a PC's local Apache server for
accessing some php scripts. These scripts are locally saved on the PC
and can be accessed with a HTTPWebRequest. The only thing i have to do
is to give a valid IP-Address. The Apacheserver runs fine, and i can
call these scripts also from the PC by typing "localhost/blah.php"
into the browser.

The problem starts when i disconnect the PC from the network, by
removing the network cable from the PC. I cant access any single
script from this point on, i cant even access the localhost-Webpage
generated by Apache.

I need to remove the network connection to install a locally installed
demoversion of the program i've written.

The only thing i could guess so far is, that after removing the
network cable, the PC loses its IP-Address. So does anyone of you know
how to trick the PC into getting a IP-Address which i can access
allways from the PocketPC device?

Thanks in advance

Jens
