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 Windows® 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 (such as, 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 (such as,
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 "foosystem", when you ping foofighter you should see the following
output:
Pinging foosystem.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® Application Server Advanced and you will be
able to operate standalone.
