Does anybody know how to assign a static IP address in XP without a network connection? when I have no network connection XP can not connect to its static address, so I cannnot create communication between my PC with my vitual PC, which is a linux operating system. I have a network card in the computer but it shows no IP address when no cable plugged in.
When I ping other IP address from virtual PC, the issued ARP package can be captured in XP with ethereal.
