Im trying to add a loopback 127.0.0.1 interface. how do i do this? ive tried adding an alias of 127.0.0.1 with the network config tool but after i hit the apply button the alias disappears. i have no idea what is going on here but if i could figure out how to do it manualy i could at least hopefully get some diagnostic info if it fails…


thanks…

Loopback should be configured automatically for you. Just try:

ping 127.0.0.1
