Applications communication without network adapter

[varmih]

Is it possible to communicate two executable applications on the same machine that does not have network adapter installed?

Yes, as long as there is something you can assign an IP address to--like MS Loopback adapter, the virtual network adapter.

Where can I find it for win95 and winNT?

[VIGuy]

Try:

http://www.google.com

If it exists, Google will find it.

I've already find it for win NT but I don't know where to look it for win95. Anyway, thank you very much for the good idea [I mean using of virtual adapter. :)].

Does anyone know where can I find Network Loopback Adapter for Win95?

Try this:

Or you can probably pick up a NIC at your local CompUSA/BestBuy/Fry's/Staples/OfficeDepot/Use Hardware Place for $10 - $15 bucks. Its not like it actually has to work.
