Whenever I start Desktop Server when there is no internet connection and then try to access my site through the ‘Sites’ button or through localhost in the browser, I get the “You aren’t connected to a network” message (in IE11 and a similar message in Firefox and Chrome). If I start the web and database services when there is an internet connection then everything works fine.
If I start with an internet connection, start the web and database services, then disconnect from the internet, everything continues to work properly as long as I don’t restart the services.
I would like to be able to work on sites on my laptop where I do not have access to the internet – is this something Desktop Server allows?
