Hey guys, I'm back. I've solved the harddisk problem at my last post.

About Microsoft loopback adapter,
I've readed 4guides, all contains the correct infomaion. I did everything recomended. But after i installed and enabled Microsoft Loopback adapter, my internet shows connected, but i cant connect to anything.

Here is wat listed in my Loopback adapter:
IP address : 60.49.***.**
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1

I did EVERYING corretly. But this error just irritates me.

default gateway is wrong. Are you behind a router or directly connected to the modem?

Post the output from an ipconfig /all so we can look at the rest of your settings.

Find out if its a DNS issue:

open a command prompt and type:

ping 72.14.205.103
If you get a reply your connection is fine.

then try

ping www.google.com
If that doesn't work you have invalid DNS addresses.

you're going to have to look at the settings in your router and verify that you have a valid dns address being used. If you aren't sure then you can try a public dns address and if it works then you know that's the problem. The following lists some public DNS addresses you can try. http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fa [...] rver-list/
