[QUOTE="Miwer, post: 933999, member: 132832"] Paranoid, that's just great if it works for you - I havn't tried setting the Network Address myself, so I wouldn't know if actually will cause any problems. Great if it don't. I was merely trying to point out that there COULD be a potential problem in setting that entry to an invalid value. I've used the setting before (to override hardcoded MAC addresses), so I do know what it's for, and it is not for setting the IP address, that's for sure ;) That's wierd, since the default value IS blank .. :confused: In that case just enter the default MAC address for the loopback adapter, which is 02-00-4C-4F-4F-50 (tested this on an XP vm) [/QUOTE]
