How about making an RJ45 loopback cable and plugging it in to make it believe it is connected to the network. If you take two wires, take 1 wire punch one end to pin 1 and the other end to pin 3, then take second wire punch one end to pin 2 and other end to pin 6 you will have a loopback cable and it will trick the NIC to thinking it is connected to a hub. Of course you can just plug it into a small hub and that will work as well. Just a thought.

The intent is to run a web demo. Everything works great until the laptop is unplugged from the network and then on every page I'm asked if I want to connect or work offline. Saving the pages for offline veiwing is no good because they run scripting, etc. When you disconnect the network cable Windows drops your ip address (even if its a static address) and replaces it with "network unplugged". I suspect this to be the problem. Does anyone know how to change this? Or is there something I can do in Internet Explorer to resolve this?
