Excellent detailed info - I blogged about using the Loopback Adapter when doing .NET Remoting development:

Thanks for reading and for providing additional info about the loopback adapter. In the demos I did, I was doing remote debugging, but the loopback adapter can be useful for any activities that require a network connection but one is not available to you, such as .NET remoting. I've found it to be very useful when I'm using my laptop in a disconnected state (on an airplane...)

Hi Frank - at a really high level, the loopback adapter allows you to simulate having your computer on a network without actually connecting to a live network. In my scenarios I have installed Microsoft Virtual PC and booted into one operating system, and then from my main OS I was able to connect to processes within the virtual PC OS and perform remote debugging without actually exposing my PC to the internet.

Also, the link Howard provided (http://www.1succeeded0failed0skipped.com/PermaLink.aspx?guid=1d3f4c2c-3a6f-42be-b386-b8238e00c03d) shows how the loopback adapter can be useful when developing software that uses .NET Remoting.

Loopback adaptor worked for me after I closed the emulator without saving and did a clean restart. Brilliant. Thanks.

Hi Folks

Unfortunately the first part:

Installing Microsoft Loopback Adapter

(

Go to the Add Hardware control panel

Click Next on the first wizard screen

When asked if the hardware is connected, select Yes and click Next

In the list of installed hardware, scroll to the bottom and select Add a new hardware device and click Next

Choose the option titled Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and click Next

In the list of common hardware types, select Network adapters and click Next

In the list of manufacturers, select Microsoft. Then in the list of network adapters, select Microsoft Loopback Adapter and click Next

Click Next one more time to install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter and then press Finish

)

doesn't work for me.

After the timeout I got an error message that the driver couldn't be installed. No other hint about the problem.

Could you please help me?

Thanks and kind regards

Manfred

Hi Memphisto007 - I'm sorry, but I didn't run into any errors or time outs back when I wrote these instructions. I'm not sure what to suggest to try to troubleshoot this issue. You may want to start by looking in the event logs on your system to see if there are any useful errors listed there that can help you get started troubleshooting.

I'm sorry I'm not able to be more helpful in this scenario.
