| Problem | While this is not an officially supported environment, it provides helpful information
for configurations without a Domain Name Server, such as a laptop. | | | | Solution | Setup: Before you start, make sure that your hostname is setup to a name other than localhost:- You can get your hostname by typing hostname at a DOS command prompt.
- The value displayed should match your Computer Name. On NT you can verify by right-clicking on "Network Neighborhood" icon and then selecting properties.
- If not, then
- click on the "Change" button,
- update the computer name, then
- reboot to make the change take place.
Solution:- Install TCP/IP (by right clicking on Network Neighborhood)
- Select Protocols (Add) and choose TCP/IP and point to your Windows NT CD or Windows NT install image directory on your File System.
- Click close and you will be prompted with a Binding menu.
- Chose an IP address (e.g., 9.9.9.9) and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and leave the default gateway IP field empty.
- Now select the DNS tab and specify a dummy domain (e.g., mydomain.standalone.com)
- Save this configuration,
- Reboot your machine
- After the reboot, you should be able to successfully ping your IP address
- You should also be able to
ping <Yourhostname>.mydomain.standalone.com- Your hostname is always returned by the DOS hostname command
- For example, if you type hostname and the returned value is "foofighter", when you ping foofighter you should see the following output:
Pinging foofighter.mydomain.standalone.com [9.9.9.9] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 9.9.9.9: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128...
- Now install WebSphere advanced... Happy stand-alone networking!
