Loopback configuration problems



Hi,

I Have a net configuration problem that one of you guys might have 
encountered. I am running a standalone machine with no network
card attached. I am using a commercial licsence server (elan ..)
that will not generate licencse keys to a machine whose IP address
is the default 127.0.0.1, so I need to give a different IP address
for my machine (any arbitrary ip would do).
And here is the problem, I can't connect the loopback connection to both
localhost and my machine. I know that this was possible on earlier 
slackware versions, I must connect loopback to my machine for the
license server to work and I must have a lopback for localhost for
all other applications (mainly X) to work properly.

System info:
i586 - 32M
running RedHat 3.0.3
standalone - no network

Does any one have any Idea or work around ??

Thanx
	Assaf.
