You cannot use an address for the loopback adapter which is routable on your network. We use the address 10.254.254.253 with a netmask of 255.255.255.252.

The next time you have a problem please try to debug the failure
in the loopback code. The loopback installer can be executed outside of the installer. btw, which installer are you having problems with? The MSI or the EXE?

You can find the standalone loopback installer at

Just installed the 1.3.77 client, and elected to install the loopback
adapter.  This was the default. After install completed, I found the
loopback was NOT installed.

I will go ahead and add it, but I'd like to know what IP address and
Netmask the openafs developers assigned to it for the default install.

As a side note, assigning an address of 10.10.10.10 with a netmask of
255.255.0.0 works,, but seems to cause problems when I wanted to
connect to some of our network printers. We use a 10.xx address space
for some printers here and windows was not able to route properly. I'm
not tcpip routing guru but perhaps a different netmask would solve the
issue..
