My Dee Dee Dee moment, or “What is a loopback adapter?”
since Maik posted one of his Dee Dee Dee moments (I did not know it either) I figured I would post one of my own.
I have a mini lab setup on my Laptop using MS Virtual Server. virtual server has two types of networks, virtual and external. It will not bind to a wireless adapter, so to be able to connect to my virtual machines I was plugging into my linksys router using a cat5e cable. I went to give a demo today at work and was dragging out my Linksys so I could get the “network” up and one of the guys asked “Why aren’t you using the loopback adapter”.
Well, I did not know about it. Now my network is hooked up sans Linksys and cables.
