Problem with Microsoft Loopback

[Negative13]

Hello guys, i have a problem with Microsoft Loopback.

1) When i install loopback, my friend can't conect me, and i can't connect to him (we are no ping).
Also i can't visit some websites (like _l2.ru) - it's just saying that "Firefox can't get connection with server ..."
When i delete the Loopback - all workings perfect, and i can connect. What i do wrong?

2) My neighbor connect to my router...

Router - 192.168.1.1
Neighbor - 192.168.1.101
Server(Me) - 192.168.1.100

I can conect to Mu Server and Web Server without erros from WAN IP, but neighbor has Disconnect, beacause he connect to router. How neighbor from my LAN must configure his PC for connecting to Server(Me).

P.S. Sorry for my bad english

The IP that loopback adapter offers, is a lan ip only for you that helps you connect to your server. I don't think it's possible to do that. But you can try to create a virtual network using Hamachi and you will connect.

Hamachi is a shit. I dont need it =(.

What are the settings you put in microsoft loopback adapter.

if youre running it online or on LAN... why use loopback

try this.. disable youre loopback thing..

go to your HOST (located on C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc)

open it with notepad

put your SERVER LAN IP and your Global IP

example:
SERVER LAN IP : 192.168.0.100
Global IP : 123.23.123.23

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.100    123.23.123.123

if youre using NO-IP you can use it also

example:
SERVER LAN IP : 192.168.0.100
NO-IP DNS : evo.zapto.org

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.100    evo.zapto.org

if your neighbor is connecting to you thru LAN

edit his HOST also like you did on your host..

NOTE: use the SERVER LAN IP not his PC LAN IP

hope the helps.. gudluck

if youre running it online or on LAN... why use loopback ...

Thanks a lot brother!

I put 127.0.0.1 everywhere, 192.168.1.100(Server IP) in \Data\MapServerInfo.dat and /p55970 /ca192.168.1.100 /cp55557 to join server link, and also (with using the BoR CS)

0 "GameServer" "domain.name" 55901 "SHOW"
1 "GameServer_CS" "domain.name" 55919 "HIDE"

And edit my hosts files like:

192.168.1.100 domain.name

And all works perfect! Without fuc**g loopback and ip changing!

Problem solved

use your domain/DNS in MapServerInfo.dat to make your server Online..

only LAN connection can get ingame if you use your LAN IP on mapserverinfo.dat
