Hello, i dont have a problem but rather looking for information on Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and yes i tried google and other forums, but it wasnt as helpful as i thought. I'm want to find out about using Microsoft Loopback Adapter, it would be required for a database (Oracle Database 10g Express Edition). Specifically i want to know if installing it could cause problems (if done incorrectly and precautions i can take before installing) with my internet connection or any other system configurations. (i'm not very technical and dont want to well.. mess up my one and only comp. system)? Could someone explain with it does and how it does it? And could installing Microsoft Loopback Adapter cause problems with regular internet connection? ADDITIONAL info: OS: Windows XP (SP2) *Also i do not have a network card and therefore i plug my modem into my USB drive I do not have any other computers on a LAN Thank you in advance!1 person needs an answerI do too
