    If you want to connect clients and servers on your own computer
without running slip you need to start the loopback interface.
In an OS2 window type  "ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1" or to start it every
to you boot add "run=f:\tcpip\bin\ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1" to your 
Config.sys replacing "f:\" with the path to your tcpip folder.

   To connect to your server use the address "127.0.0.1" in the
client. You can create a file named "hosts" in your tcpip\etc
folder with the line  "127.0.0.1 YOURCOMPUTERSNAME".
YOURCOMPUTERSNAME can be any name you wish. You can
now call your client with YOURCOMPUTERSNAME instead of
using the ip address.
