I am a software developer (not very familiar with networking practice) and have a question about setting up a tcp/ip connection on the same box-to mimic a client server connection for testing purposes. I set the Lan connection/tcp/ip properties IP address to 192.168.0.1 (as well as the gateway and the DNS server. The subnet mask was set to 255.255.255.0. (I am using Win XP Prof).In the Command prompt I pinged the bogus IP address but it came back all 4 times as “destination host unreachable†or some such(4 packets sent and 4 lost). Per MS documentation I tested pinging something like 127.0.0.1 and got back that all 4 packets sent and received. The network cable shows is disconnected which a friend says is ok for this.
Any ideas what could be wrong, or how to find out? Thanks.
