Create a loopback adapter with a given IP address

[Eric Gamess]

Hello,

From a program, I am interested in creating a Loopback adapter
with a given IP address??? How can I do that???

I found information about DevCon, and tryed:
devcon -r install %WINDIR%\Inf\Netloop.inf *MSLOOP

It creates the loopback adapter but try to assign the IP address
with DHCP, and finally assign a APIPA IP address when there is
no DHCP server. Is there a way to create a loopback interface and
assign this interface a IP address during the creation process???

Thank you very much for your answer.

Eric.
