Internet connection, working offline

Hello,

I am wondering how I can use ZM without having a working internet connection.

I use ZM on only 1 pc and therefore have no need to be online. Every time this pc is offline (the router restart for instance), ZM stops working. Is there any way I can have a working ZM being offline?

Thank you!

127.0.0.1 is loopback, set up in hosts file that way. I think I know the issue you're speaking to here. The easy fix is to configure and connect a router with no other connection and untick (in options) "check for updates". The hard way is to disable all network connections both in OS and in Bios. The latter can break more than just ZM depending on installation.
