#IPV4 LOOPBACK WINDOWS 7 UPDATE#
Since Windows 7 is relying on the mac address of the virtual machine to identify the network, your virtual machine will need to be running and then you can try to disable / reenable the loopback adapter on the host machine to try to force Windows 7 to update itself. You may need to disable / reenable the adapters on both machines before Windows 7 realizes it now has a mac address to identify this network with.So the IP on the virtual machine would be 1.1.1.2 and the gateway would point to your host, or 1.1.1.1. Do the same on the virtual machine, but this time flip it.
Pull up your IPv4 settings and instead of using "Obtain an address automatically" give the host machine a static ip - something like 1.1.1.1.Pull up the properties for the loopback adapter on your machine.So basically we need to configure the loopback adapter on the host to use a gateway that will point to a machine or device with a consistent mac address. After looking at a number of different solutions online, hopefully here is a permanent solution.īased on this post,, it seems that the way that Windows 7 identifies networks is by the MAC address of the gateway the adapter uses.
