I have installed MS Loop-back adapter and have given it a static IP: 10.10.10.9
my laptop is configured as 10.10.10.30 , and my gateway is 10.10.10.1
i can ping the loop-back NIC from my laptop, but not from any other machine on the LAN. i am trying to beat the 65k port limitation by seeing if i can have virtual IP addresses on one machine and each can then give me 65k ports
thanks.
By very definition, you CANNOT talk to a loopback adapter from any other machine but your own.
If on Linux, you could bridge it to a physical adapter, such as eth0, but why would you want to do that?
