How to change interface loopback adapter address in Windows?
Hi I created new loopback adapter in Windows 7 using:
devcon.exe install %windir%infnetloop.inf *msloop
Then if I execute ipconifg
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe40::234d:4e0d:b111:104%32
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 160.1.1.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :
When I tried to change the address( I Just want to change the address but I can't find how to do that, so I try to change all address, subnet mask and gateway)
netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Local Area Connection 4" source=static address=127.0.1.1 mask=255.0.0.0 gateway=127.0.1.1
The parameter is incorrect.

You cannot update "127.0.0.1" IP address to another loopback adapter's IP address. "127.0.0.1" is already reserved for the default loopback address of your main ethernet adapter. Try use other IP. The same command should work.
netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Local Area Connection 4" source=static address=172.0.1.1 mask=255.0.0.0 gateway=172.0.1.1
