Windows 7 & Vista Guide ~

The above is a fix for Windows XP users, the Windows 7/Vista method is different.

1) Open your control panel

2) Click on Network and Internet

3) Click on Network and Sharing Center

4) On the left side there is a "change adapter settings" link, click it (For Vista users this is Manage Network Connections)

5) There should be several "local area network" icons. Disable them!

If these methods DID NOT work please PM "Ecko" for new methods on how to disable "Microsoft Loopback Adapter".

Just wondering... whats the reason for disabling that?

You won't be able to play UMS or any other v83 server unless you have that disabled.

normally people get dced after inputting their PIC with the clicking pad thingy. disable these to make MS work.
