-These instructions were written for Windows XP, but translate fairly directly to Windows 2000.
+There are two options: run [confloop.msi](http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/wolfcall/loopback), or follow these instructions. I'd recommend the former for system administrators who must do this on lots of machines, and the latter for single users. The instructions were written for Windows XP, but translate fairly directly to Windows 2000.

- If you're on a private network that actually uses 10.\* addresses, change the IP to point to another RFC1918 address space.
5. Before you leave the properties for the Loopback Adapter, be sure that "File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks" and "Client for Microsoft Networks" are installed and checked. If not, use the Install button to install these services, and check them in the list.

+1. The automatic Lana scan should find and select the new loopback adapter, and is on by default. However, if you've turned it off, you can turn it back on by going to Start/Settings/Control Panel/AFS Client Configuration, clicking on the "Advanced" tab, going to "Miscellaneous", and checking the box for "Automatic Lana scan." Again, this step is not necessary unless you have changed the settings.

Thanks to a [patch](http://www.openafs.org/cgi-bin/wdelta/STABLE12-windows-loopback-adapter-support-20021126) included in [[OpenAFS]] 1.2.8+, the next time the AFS service starts, it will automatically find and use the Loopback Adapter, preferring it over other adapters.
