Hello,

My computer is called \\torarvid in network neighbourhood. When
pointing windows explorer to "\\torarvid" from that computer, I will
get a listing of my network shares, and am normally able to browse
them.

However, if I disconnect my network cable, this will not work, even
though it is the local machine... I feel it should not require a
network connection to be able to do this...
Do I have something set up wrong, or is it just the way it is...?
