I have set ms loopback address to 192.168.133.10

I get the following info on "ipconfig /all" -

But still CVSNT is working only when connected to network.
Though ping to localhost works fine, while connected or not connected to
actual network, ping <pc name> goes only through loopback address
192.168.133.10
(If I disable loopback, then ping goes through local area network address
192.168.0.2)

What have I missed out in setup?
Using Google I came across your nicely explained "CVSNT 2.5.03 Installation
on Windows 2003" page and tried to follow those steps. Still CVSNT works
only when connected to actual network.
I am not using simple file sharing.
I have installed CVSNT in D drive (D:\CVSNT) to avoid spaces in directory
path/name.
I have installed MS Loopback Adapter first and then CVSNT.
What should be the CVSNT server name? I am using VAIOFAIRCHILD (my pc name),
and cvslock is using localhost.
CVSNT hangs (after opening a command window) when I am trying to
set/initialize a new Repository using CVSNT control panel.
When I close the command window, I get the following message -
Repository initialization failed. To see errors, type the following at the
command line:
D:\CVSNT\\cvs -d D:/cvsroot/syndicate init

Rad.

The idea with the loopback adapter in this context is just to stop TCP/IP
from unloading, nothing more. You do *not* want to set the loopback adapter
IP address to anything within your own physical network, in this case when
you try to use 192.168.0.1, what you really is doing is masquerading as the
*Gateway* on your physical network and that is *really* no-no!
Set the loopbak to something like this instead:
IP address: 192.168.133.10
NetMask: 255.255.255.0
No gateway (you cannot reach a gateway using the loopback)
No DNS server (you cannot reach a DNS server either)
Then forget about the loopback entirely.
When you are connected to the network check this in a *command*
window:
ipconfig /all (should get you all information on the TCP/IP adapters)
ping <your pc:s name> (should get you results on the 192.168.0 net
ping localhost (should get results from 127.0.0.1
Then repeat all of this when you have the physical network disconnected.
Now ipconfig should show a non-working physical adapter but still show
loopback as OK.
ping localhost should still work.
ping <pc name> should return through the loopback IP address
