Does anybody know how to assign a static IP address in XP without a network connection? when I have no network connection XP can not connect to its static address, so I cannnot create communication between my PC with my vitual PC, which is a linux operating system. I have a network card in the computer but it shows no IP address when no cable plugged in.
When I ping other IP address from virtual PC, the issued ARP package can be captured in XP with ethereal.

You must build a loopback connector for your lan card.
Join pin 1 <-> 3 and pin 2<->6.
It works! Guaranteed!

Installing the Microsoft Loopback Adapter will give you what you want.
You may as well disable your current network card in Device Manager.

If you've got a network card, you should be able to simply turn off the automatic address assignment and simply give the card a 192.168.0.x address. THen you should be able to setup comms between the two.
Worth mentioning that if you have Service Pack 2 installed for Windows XP, there's a caveat for the loopback adapter.

Join pin 1 <-> 3 and pin 2<->6. I think this is an effective method, but it has some difficulty.
felix: your method cannot activate ip configure.
