Microsoft Loopback Adapter Driver for Windows 7 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 10, 8, XP. Uploaded on 4/25/2019, downloaded 2845 times, receiving a 99/100 rating by 1727 users. Window 7 loopback adapter addresses. On windows XP it works a treat. Send To: 127.0.0.73 Received From: 127.0.0.73 Send To: 127.0.0.73 Received From: 127.0.0.1 As you can see it always gets 127.0.0.1, which really defeats the object of the exercise. Can anybody confirm to me whether this is a known change in the loopback address handling. Occasionly, in case when we have several network adapters, Windows 7 can decide will not use Loopback adapter as primary Network interface. This is because Windows 7 relies on metrics of particular network adapter whose value by default is autogenerated according to connection speed and other parameters. Jan 13, 2014 I want to install the Microsoft Lookback Adapter in Windows 7. I have done this under Vista either via: 1) Control Panel, Classic View, Add Hardware. 2) Device Manager, right click on root node and select Add Legacy Hardware. I can't find the equivalent under Windows 7 - any suggestions? It turns out that adding a Loopback adapter in Windows 7 is a little bit tricky, because we have no “Add Hardware” menu icon within Control Panel, anymore. Everything is supposed to be detected by Windows 7. (At least in current Windows 7 RC1).
