Hi,

   I want to  disable the loopback address i.e 127.0.0.1 to perform one of my unit test. Since there is no interface available in ipconfig for loopback interface. How can I disable it ?  or is there any other way by doing so "ping 127.0.0.1" will  fail ?

Hi,

It is almost impossible.

What if you change it in host file, or disable TCP driver/service?
