ip addres for stand-alone computer

Hi!

I have a stand-alone windows 2000 server. This computer is connected neither
to the Internet nor to a network. I want this computer to have a given ip
address, say, 192, 168, 0, 5. In order to accomplish the latter, I have tried
to assign it a static ip address whose value is 192,168,0,1 (mask:
255.255.255.0, DSN server: 192,168,0,1, and I do not fill in the gateway
field). I do this step by right clicking on TCP/IP and filling the
corresponding fields. Windows 2000 successfully stores the entered values.
This configuration may sound like a little bit weird, but this is what I need
(reasons long to explain)

My computer has a network card, which is not transmitting or receiving
anything because it is unplugged (remember that this is a standalone
computer). Therefore, when I type in ipconfig /all, the ip address field is
missing.

What am I doing wrong? Is there anyway to assign a given ip address (and a
given mask and a given dns server) to this stand-alone windows 2000 server?


Any help is appreciated

ipconfig.exe will only report an IP address when your network
adapter is plugged in. Since it is unplugged, it won't show an
address. Why whould this be a problem?

I cannot help but wonder what you need an address for as the computer is not
connected to the internet. The idea strikes me to be a bit like building a home
and having nowhere to put it. Maybe you are into making a pre-fab computer that
has nowhere to go. I my mind you are doing everything wrong.
