David,

Thanks for your answer and quick and valuable help.

I am not asking about loopback adapter that is optionally installed and does not come with Windows. The Microsoft Loopback Adapter is an optional interface you
can install, not a standard part of the OS, and, even *without* that
adapter installed, you can send IP packets from the machine to its own
IP address, or to 127.0.0.1 (the loopback address), and have them be
received by the machine.I assume that the purpose of the Microsoft
Loopback Adapter is to deal with cases where you *do* want a network
adapter for testing purposes (so that what I presume is internal
looping-back by the networking stack isn't sufficient), or where you
need a network address other than one that belongs to a real network
adapter and other than the 127.0.0.1 (or other loopback network)
address.

Thus the loopback address i am talking about is different then the loopback adapter that you seem to be talking about which can have any address other then "127.*" net.

I was looking for a programming solution on all WIndows platforms e.g. XP/2000, 2003, 2008/Vista. Now i have found the solution, which is to enumerate the local interfaces using WSAIoctl() and checking for loopback net with flag IFF_LOOPBACK for the loopback interface.

Thanks again for your help.

Best Regards.
