RE: can CYGWIN have a different IP address to Windows?

Hi,
your not 100% correct here.

If you install the MS loopback adapter (which is software NOT hardware) you
can assign IP addresses to it.

Please see the URL I created to consolidate the information gathered from
this thread.

So realy, your answer should have been:

IP adresses are asigned to hardware for identification purposes (fi
network cards, modems etc) it is not possible to assign ip addresses to
software.
