Yeah, Win servers are really unwilling without a network. The MS
Loopback adapter does help in this cases, as it does in every *ix.
But my point is that the property dialog hangs when reconfiguring from
DHCP to static manually (this can traditionally take quite a while, but
not THAT long). I had trouble using copyconfig, so the cause might be
the same.
This happens on a VM migrated from a physical machine. Before installing
gplpv, I removed all disks and lan drivers.

So maybe there's some cornercase in the drivers triggered when changing
ip addressing.
