Vista - install loopback adapter on vista ultimate

i installed loopback adapter on my vista ultimate machine. I configure the ip
to 192.168.50.1/255.255.255.0
however, i am getting a Limited Connectivity from the adapter. does anyone
know how to fix it?
i had set up a virtual pc on another xp environemnt and had no problem on
the connection. Don't know if there is any vista thing i am missing.

thanks in advance.

Do you have a virtual machine with its NIC connected to the loopback
network? What IP address and netmask does it have?

i have not created any virtual machine yet. The thing is the loopback adapter
has a limited connection in vista, but i had the adpater setup on another Xp
machine, it has 10mbps.

also, when i try to fix the problem through vista, it tells me that the
adapter has incorrect ip configuartion.

I assign an ip address and masking it as 192.168.50.1/255.255.255.0. and the
rest are the same as i set up on xp.

Well yes, it will show limited access because it cannot see any devices
on the network (because there are no other devices on that network yet).
