    Hi does anyone know if it possible to run java network programs
    without being connected to network?

    what I mean is this I have a pc at home, not connected to anything, I use this to mess around with code etc.

    I hava a few C++ network stuff going on .. I would connect to ip address 127.0.0.1, and it would work fine.

    But everytime I try to do any network stuff with java, I get errors.

    Am I right to presume it cause I am not connected to a network??
    If so is there anyway around this?

    Depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to conenct to a webserver, you'll need to have a webserver set up. If you're trying to ping, 127.0.0.1 should work fine......

    what port are you trying to use ? OS ?
    do you have a firewall on your home machine ?
