IK. You gave yourself an IP address but, it isn't actually connected to
anything? If so, just delete the IP address and it won't error beause
you'll still have localhost (127.0.0.1) working. You can leave the
hostname you've as is and just add the IP back in when you have a
connection.

If that isn't your problem, I'm really confused.
