  3. In the Common hardware types list, click Network adapters, and then click Next.
  4. In the Manufacturer list, click Microsoft.
  5. In the Network Adapter list, click Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and then click Next twice.
  6. If a message about driver signing appears, click Continue Anyway.
  7. In the Completing the Add Hardware Wizard dialog box, click Finish, and then click OK.
