Win2000 networking.

I have this application that runs fine on WInNT4.0 with the network cable connected or not connected.

The code is suppose to see the localhost when the network is not connected .

This same application fails on Win2000 when the network is not connected. Works like charn

when connected. I can also make it run and then make it fail by removing the connection while it

it running, whence I get an "java.net.NoRouteToHostExcetion: Host Unreachable Datagram send failed ". Works OK under WinNT40. How come it can not find the localhost?

Any ideas?

Thanks

You have a network configuration problem. (Not a Java problem.)

I guess it is possible that my customer (in the East Coast) and where I am working have a network problem. And it also happen to be same problem.Thank anyway.Isagani.

Indeed it is. These systems generally come configured in a standard way. And you ARE running the same software on both of them, so they are likely to fail in the same way.

check the bug parade. There was something in there I read that mentioned how win2000 handles lost connections differently and caused problems in the JVM. I can not remember what bug number it was sorry.

I am new to Win2000 and this is the fix to my original posts?

NT40 and Win2000 are different beast. The Win2000 loopback

can be achieved by adding a new device called Microsoft Loopback

Adapter. This fixed my problem above.

I know this is a Java forum, but if any of you guys have a problem

with networking in Win2000, this could be one of them.

Thanks for all those who answered and gave me right direction.

Isagani.
