-
- The 'localhost' URLs described in the documentation for Netplex will fail to
- work on the ANT Internet Suite. This is because the ANT Suite is not
- supplied with a loopback driver configured as standard. This is neccessary
- to allow the computer to contact itself to use the server.
-
- To configure the loopback driver you should carry out the following steps :
-
- 1. Start the ANT Suite up, and open it's Apps window.
-
- 2. Launch the Configuration app.
-
- 3. Click on the 'LAN (Local Area Network)' option button. The
- 'LAN setup' icon below will become un-shaded and the LAN
- setup window will open.
-
- 4. Click on the Driver pop-up menu button and choose 'Loopback'
- from the list.
-
- 5. Close the LAN window.
-
- 6. Choose 'Save' from the configuration window.
-
-
- When you next start the ANT Suite up, it will have the loopback interface
- configured, enabling you to access your own machine as 'http://localhost/'.
