Hello,
(1) I use Windows NT. The Microsoft Loopback Adapter is part of Windows NT.
I have not found something similiar for Windows 95/98. Sorry about
that. Under NT you can select the Microsoft Loopback Adapter under
control-panel/network/adapters/add.
(2) I think, you can disable auto-dialing. So, if you want to connect to the
Internet you have to start the dial-up network by hand. The dial-up
networking uses different tcp-ip settings than those in
control-panel/network. So they should be completely independent. You do not
have to reconfigure your machine, but to dial out through a click to the
dial-up networking item under the start-menu of windows (nt).
If I have time, I try to find a solution for Windows 95/98 this evening,
because my machine at home is using windows 98.

Two questions:
Where can you get MS-Loopback-Adapter?
What happens if you need to also do dial-up connections?
Like many JDE users, I use the JDE at home as well as at work. My
Windows
95 machine at home is set up to do a dial-up TCP/IP connection to
the
network at work. I cannot use any "local-loop" solution that would
render
the dial-up connection inoperable or that would require me to
reconfigure
my machine everytime I want to dial into work, which is at least
once a day.
