How to install a Loopback Adapter in Windows 7

fantastic!

Thanks, was really helpful!

WHY in the WORLD did Microsoft remove “Install New Hardware” wizard from Control Panel?

Thank you!

im very very very very tanck you.

They did not remove the option, just move it to device manager -> actions -> add legacy hardware

im very very thank you!

First, thanks for your tip, It’s useful for me!
But I have the following problem, I use VMWare mapping this loopback interface (That I’ve created). But when I resume my PC from standby state, VMWare not see the loopback interface.
I disable then enable it, all normal activity. Anyone have ideal ?
Thanks and regards,

Thanks this helped a lot.

I’m never gonna get use to the “Run as Admin” thing.

You are too much….more than a darling.

I think that its the first time I follow a tutorial and everything goes perfect. Much obliged

Instead of searching for running cmd as administrator, just search for hdwwiz and run it as administrator.

Sorry, forgot to thank you for the tip!

thanks

Thanks a ton.

to run cmd as administrator in windows 7 start > just type “cmd” now instead of use Enter key, use Ctrl + Shift + Enter

you’re amazing! thank you.

thank you sir….
i have a lot of work on loopback , but before that i dont know

Thanks a mil my friend!!! u ‘re a life saver!.

Guys,

Please, help me . It is not working for me. I have seen the Unidentified network(Public Network),

Perfectly simple! Thanks so much!

brilliant, thanks a lot
it really works fantastic

thanks ^_^

resolved the problem yaar!
it,s great………

Great tutorial.

Another method of accomplishing the same thing would be to launch Computer Properties and then click on Device Manager on the left pane. There are many ways to launch it but the best I like is to press “Win + Pause/Break” combination.

In the Device Manager, click on one of the existing Network Adapters and then click on “Action” on the menu bar and select “Add legacy hardware” Voila!

You get the same wizard again. Rest of the procedure is the same.

I mean, you can do the same task by multiple methods because in actuality all of those method invoke some executable or dll in the background (all of which cannot be remembered of course)

Thanks.

thx thx !!!! thank you very mucjh =)

Thank You Very Much. A great tutorial and a must watch for everyone from the networking field.Keep It Up.

Excellent work !!!
