There is actually a seperate Loopback Device you can install, it
shows as a physical adapter in the network list. OpenAFS uses it
for its jiggery pokery.
Annoyingly you can't use a 127.0.0.0/8 IP on it though, you have to
assign some other IP to it. Microsoft never seem to do anything the
logical way. Why they couldn't just have installed the loopback
device by default and assigned 127.0.0.0/8 to it I don't know.
