Step 2Setting up the Loopback Adaptor.
1 - Installing Microsoft Loopback Adaptor (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013)
There are several different ways to install the Loopback Adaptor. I think the easiest way is to go into "Computer Management" > "Device Manager". Right click on the "Computer Name" and choose "Add Legacy Hardware". Chose to "Manually install your device", then choose "Network Adaptors", Choose "Microsoft" for Manufacturer and "Microsoft Loopback Adaptor". Click "Next" to complete your installation.
2 - You will now see another Network interface installed in "Network Connections"
3 - Right click > Properties on the Loopback interface.
4 - Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", and click the "Properties" button.
5 - Here, you can either set up a static IP or us DHCP that can be provided by your IPCop installation. I chose to use a static IP and picked a subnet that I would not normally use. In my example, I chose the following settings:
IP: 192.168.1.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (we will assign this IP to our IpCop "Green" interface)
DNS: 192.168.1.1 (IpCop DNS Relay)

but I think there are some typos related to the network interfaces configuration, in step 2.5 we have the same Gateway an DNS (192.168.1.1), them we have different configurations in step 3.22(image 5) showing a IP adress 192.168.100.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0. which is in a diferente network segment of the ip and netmask of the 2.5 step.
Please forgive me if I understood something wrong
