When I enter 127.0.0.1 as IP, it gives me error "IP addresses starting with 127 are not valid because they are reserved for loopback addresses."
Can someone please give me solution?
I am using windows 10 64 bit

    Hi ,

    The loopback adapter is designed for testing out the network configurations. We can not set 127.0.0.1 as IP, as picture below:

    We always set non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. E.g.192.168.x.x (x is any value between 0 and 255) and 10.10.10.10.

    Best Regards,
