how do I get it to run free of the internet?

[alf]

I have to be missing something real obvious here, I have it all up and running but if I unplug the internet from the computer it is on, it stops.


Running firefox and live blue cherry cd install.

note Apache needs inet to start unless you change start up parameter

Just tried it again, when I pull the plug the image stops and the time stamp stops.

but

when watching from another computer remotely I can unplug the internet from the dsl modem and it works fine, remotely.


I was planning to get a dual head video card and putting a monitor in an area where people can watch the cameras, and next to the computer itself.


My work around would be to get another computer and use that where I want to have the cameras monitored. I would rather not do that.

I dont know for sure but
I think it has to do with the hosts file

Edit: run ifconfig see if you have a lo interface (known as loop back)
If it s not there run ifup lo

I get

When I run ifup lo it says its configured.

I think if I put the router and the host computer on a ups it will never lose power and my problems will be solved for short power outages, which is all I get usually.

Unless you see something there.

I've tried every search I can think of here so I think I'm missing something obvious.

figured it out, checked "work offline" in firefox.


I knew it was something simple.
