Assign a static IP address without a network connection
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.

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

Worth mentioning that if you have Service Pack 2 installed for Windows XP, there's a caveat for the loopback adapter.
