Is there a way/program to simulate a LAN connection on one computer say between two instances of the same program?

If it's using TCP/IP maybe you could use localhost (127.0.0.1) for the server IP?

Doesn't seem like a dumb question to me, hardly anyone can answer it. ;)

Run 'ipconfig' from the (DOS) command line, that'll give you a local IP for your machine.  

Then just bind your communicating programs to different ports (depending on your access/arbitration strategy...i.e. implementation specific).

EDIT: in what language?

Steak, I'll tell you why it's dumb.  Basically, all I want to do is set it up so that my different SP characters in Diablo 2 can exchange equipment they've found that might be useful to one of the others.  Of course, that's probably illegal in D2 so just "fuhgedaboudid!"
