I've got an issue that's related to an unplugged network cable, but not quite the
same.
I've got an application that I am running on a PC, and that application needs to
communicate out. It is designed to only communicate TCP/IP. This is a bit difficult
as the PC can only be connected X.25. I've written a software router to route the
TCP/IP to X.25 and this seems to work fine, but only when an active network cable
is plugged in. I've experimented with this, and plugged a cable into a hub with nothing
else connected, and even this works.
From what I can see, I either need to 'dummy' XP into thinking it's connected to
a network so the TCP/IP will run, or find a way to allow TCP/IP to run without a
network cable connected. Any suggestions? Thanks Heaps!!
