I have a Client/Server application that communicates using the winsock control to communicate. However I have a requirement to run the system locally ie. Client & Server on the same machine. This works perfectly on networked/internet enabled PC's but if the machine does not have an active Modem or Network card I get errors like:
Error Code 10050 - Network Subsystem Failed
Error Code 10047 - Address Family not Supported

These I think are caused because TCP/IP isn't installed or the process is not active.
Does anyone know if Sockets can work locally with no external connections ? Or can TCP/IP be set to look back on itself?

Thanks,
