This is what we have in our README:

- Under XP its recommended to Disable Media Sense for TCP/IP:
     see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q239924
   Use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to view the following key in the 
registry:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
   Add the following registry value:
     Value Name: DisableDHCPMediaSense
     Data Type : REG_DWORD -Boolean
     Value Data: 1
   Restart your computer.
- Under XP if started without network cable its recommended to install 
Microsoft Loopback Adapter:
     see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q825089
   To install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, follow these steps:
     Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add Hardware.
     Click Next.
     Click Yes, I have already connected the hardware.
     In the Installed hardware list, click Add a new hardware device, 
and then click Next.
     Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list 
(Advanced), and then click Next.
     In the Common hardware types list, click Network adapters, and then 
click Next.
     In the Manufacturer box, click Microsoft, in the Network Adapter 
list, click Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and then click Next.
     Click Finish.
   Restart your computer.
