Subject: RMI question for JINI

Hi All,
I have been having a problem and the solution was suggestted
to me by a person who knows _way_ more about windows
than I do.

Does anyone know if this persons suggestion works
for windows 98?

I've had similar problem with NT on a single box. Install the MS 
loopback
driver with a dummy ip address..
