Then paste the MAC address that you have copied to the box. Go back to the loopback configuration again. There should be a box to the right of Network Address.Ĭlick the Start orb and type in cmd then hit Enter.Ĭopy the MAC address of your local interface. Go to Advance tab and click the Network Address.
Right click on the loopback adapter then choose properties. Then in the Location Type box mark the Private then click OK. On the right pane, double click the Unidentified Networks. On the left pane of Local Security Policy window, click the Network List Manager Policies. I would assume that you already have your loopback, and it is in public network.Ĭlick Start orb type in secpol.msc then hit Enter. OK now this is how I changed the loopback from Public Network (Unidentified) into Private Network (Home): The last method is open Computer -> Local Disc (C:) -> Windows -> System32 -> scroll down ’til you see hdwwiz.exe.

Click Next -> Install the hardware that I manuall select from the a list (Advance) -> then scroll down ’til you see Network adapters then click Next -> under the Manufacturer box look for Microsoft -> then under the Network Adapter box look for Microsoft Loopback Adapter -> click Next -> then Next again.

#Loopback adapter how to#
Oh! Before I show you how I fixed it, let’s look at how to install the loopback on Windows 7 box.įirst, the easiest is click the Start orb and type in hdwwiz.exe then hit the Enter key. However, if the loopback is in Public network then it will not work. For example, if you want to ping any public addresses and use DNS, want to connect SDM to your routers, you are going to need to use a loopback interface. Therefore, it has to be in Private Network.Īlso, on GNS3 the loopback adapter is a big help as well. The problem was, it was in Public Network meaning, you can’t use it in VM to share files or connect VM to the internet to get the latest updates and stuff for your VM. I have been trying to fix this damn loopback adapter in Windows 7 for two days.
