Loopback interface: Alternative to Microsoft drivers ???

[Eric Gamess]

Hello,

I need to work with Loopback interfaces in Windows.
It seems that the Microsoft drivers for loopback
interfaces only allow the creation of 1 loopback interface.

I created the loopback interface with:
devcon -r install %WINDIR%\Inf\Netloop.inf *MSLOOP

Do you know an alternative to Microsoft Loopback interface???
O maybe, another way to create virtual interfaces in Windows???

Thank you very much for your answer.

Eric.

write your own.

the Windows driver Kit has enough sample code to write you own.

however, it would help most of the people in the NG on what scenario you are
trying to enable.

Thanks Paul for your answer.

I just need the Loopback interface to simulate a virtual
interface. I only need it for TCP/IP. I will need to create
virtual interfaces and assign them static IP addresses
at the creation time (NOT DHCP).

I am writing a implementation of a routing protocol and
I just want to simulate the Loopback interface in Cisco
routers.

Thank you for your help.

So really just want to create a virtual adapter, there is a sample called
"NDIS Virtual Miniport" sample .. this is the one you will want to use.

It simulates real HW (but does not require it)and allows upper level
protocol drivers (TCP) to bind and interact.

I would start there.
