Virtual Internet Connection
 
I'm wondering if there's a way to trick your computer and its programs into thinking that it's connected to the internet, when it's really not. Is there any software that can do this?

Thanks for help and have a nice weekend

Why?

Re: Virtual Internet Connection
 
Because I have a software whitch only works with an Internetconnection

How could you possibly expect to "simulate" the internet, its rather large...

OP has posted another thread about simulating the physical (a TV card in that instance), I'm beginning to wonder if he's creating the Matrix :)

Hello

I dont want to simulate the whole Internet. I just want to simulate the connection to the Internet

Here's how we did it in class.

Add another router named ISP (or whatever) and connect it to the router in your local network you want the traffic to pass through.

Put the passive interface command on the interface connected to the ISP router in order to suppress your routing updates.

Put a static route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 to the ISP router and redistribute that route to the other routers in your LAN.

From here, all of your routers will forward the data out to the "internet." In order for that data to return you'll need to have NAT set up. If you want your local hosts to ping "websites" you can either use loopbacks on the ISP router or servers attached to it. You'll also need to set up a local DNS server to convert the url's to the ip address of the loopbacks/servers. The cool thing about using servers instead of the loopback is that you can actually go into the browser of your local hosts and browse to those websites. This comes in handy if you want to set up ACL's where you can test connectivity by pinging but still block web traffic.

This may not simulate the actual routing outside of your network but it does simulate what you need to do to get your local network communicating with the WAN. Add in your own DHCP server and you've got a fairly decent lab setup that covers most of the communicating with WAN topics.

Which is what a sandbox does, the program thinks it's connected up, does updates and messes about as it wants and then when you close the sandbox everything that was in it disappears with no actual changes being made to the program / computer etc..

Perhaps you could tell us what this software is called?

To be honest, it's likely that the software needs a connection to the internet to validate it's license, or do something similar, a simulated connection isn't going to do that.

Again you do not understand what you're asking.. a connection to the internet can be via many means.. You tell us by which means you with to emulate and you might get a simple answer (though probably not the one you;re expecting!!!)

The most simplest way though is for you to install locally a web server (iis will do) and change your host file to point the DNS requests to that server

Zing 17-12-2010 19:41
Re: Virtual Internet Connection
 
could you not redirect the remote address to the local pc in the host file?

@Wayfair

So i can use Sandbox without an Internetconnection on a fresh installed Windows7laptop?

And how does it work? I install Sandbox and then?

Why don't you try it and then troubleshoot it yourself?

Hello

I just want to test some software Like Firefox ICQ etcc. without having a real Internetconnection. So my idea was to start this thread.

---------- Post added at 21:11 ---------- Previous post was at 20:22 ----------

Maybe someone has the time to test the software..

Wayfair 18-12-2010 20:18
Re: Virtual Internet Connection
 
Firefox ICQ will run inside a sandbox..

tvvee 18-12-2010 20:26
Re: Virtual Internet Connection
 
And it will run with the simulated Internetconnection of sandbox?

Sounds like you have plenty of time on your hands - as I said it's Christmas and people are out shopping and preparing for the holiday season.

If you want to test it, go ahead. Please DON'T EXPECT anybody here to test it for you. Only YOU know what you want it to do and only YOU can test it to answer the questions you have.

Why do you keep asking us to test software for you? :rolleyes:
