Using IIS when disconnected from network

External Since: Feb 18, 2004 Posts: 4

I want to do some testing with the network cable unplugged, so I'm completely divorsed from network. But when I'm disconnected, I can't use IIS locally to test such things as some php scripts, and I can't even view a local test .html page in IE. Is there a way to use IIS in this type of environment so I can test my code before connecting again to the net?

Try using the loop back address, i.e. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://localhost" target="_blank">http://localhost</a> instead of the usual
address; this should work regardless of actual connectivity provided your
web server is on the local machine.
