Loopback adapter

[Jeff Drouin]

I would like map a drive on my C drive. I use this to run
programs that call from a network drive when I'm normally
logged onto the LAN. I works fine when I have a network
connection. I would like to access it when I don't have a
network connection. But I don't see where I can set a
Loopback adapter to make my laptop think it has a network
connection.

Can anyone help me please.

Thank you
Jeff
