MiniWAS 6.20 and fully qualified domain name

Hi folks,

After a successful installation of SAP WebAS 6.20 I enthusiastially dug into my first BSP tryout .. getting the BSP error "fully qualified domain name" ...

I read several threads here on the forums which gave me a good insight on what the problem is ...

The only thing is that I am running the WAS on my laptop which is NOT connected in any way with a network and I have to admit ... I wouldn't know where to start to get this issue fixed ...

I run windows 2000 and have installed the microsoft loopback adapter ... The host file has been changed and I can succesfully ping the host name "playground" on 10.10.0.1 ...

The webas generates url's like http://playground:50000/ ... but obviously that's not working ...

Anyone who can give me a hint on how to get this up and running on a local instance ? Do I need to activate some DNS specific stuff on the pc ?

Thanks for your time ...

Steven
