Loopback connection problem is when your NIC (Network interface card) is trying to ping it's address of 127.0.0.1

Start
Run
Cmd
ipconfig

I am assuming you do not have a gateway address or a valid ip address. If you do not type in the series of commands:


ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

This will cause you to get another ip address and likely stop this issue. Another thing that could be causing it is if your wireless card is on and you are wired. Disable the one you are not using if you are using both connection methods.

haha right... i couldnt figure it out though... i couldnt do anything on my comp, all i got was error messages, so i couldnt check anything. i assumed it was viruses since i have no firewall and over 700gigs of 3rd party downloads and t0rre|\|ts lol, but a broke usb port is fine
