Network question here<-

I'm usually consider myself fairly computer literate but I had a question about my route table.

What is the MS TCP loopback interface?

[AngryBob]

that loops TCP back to your machine ping 127.0.0.1. that sends echo out and back to your machine.

This loopback is useful when you are troubleshooting a faulty connection to your LAN. The first thing is to try and ping your computer. Depending of your Windows OS it make look something like this:

c:\windows\ping loopback, or, c:\windows\ping 127.0.0.1. Both work the same.

If you see something like this:

Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=32

This means that your TCP/IP configuration is correct. If not, you need to check your settings and reinstall your TCP/IP protocol via the control panel.
