LoopBack adapter not saving ip address

Hi, I am trying to create 3 loopback adapters with the following IP address suffixes 0.100, 0.200, 1.200. I have set up the 0.100 fine but the other 2 always revert back to an automatic IP after I have entered the static. It just wipes the whole IP. I know this can be done as it is set up on another machine. Why won't it work? and does anyone know how to fix it?

    Hi there,

    Let us there these steps

    Open the Network Connections window: Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, then type ncpa.cpl and press Enter. This will open the Network Connections window where you can manage your network adapters.

    Disable the loopback adapters: Right-click on each of the loopback adapters that you want to configure with static IP addresses (0.200 and 1.200), and select "Disable." This will temporarily disable the adapters.

    Configure the loopback adapters with static IP addresses: Right-click on the loopback adapter that you want to configure (0.200), and select "Properties." In the properties window, double-click on the "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" entry.

    Set the static IP address: In the TCP/IPv4 properties window, select the "Use the following IP address" option. Enter the desired IP address (e.g., *************), subnet mask, and default gateway if applicable. Click "OK" to save the settings.

    Repeat the process for the other loopback adapter (1.200) if necessary.

    Enable the loopback adapters: Right-click on each of the loopback adapters and select "Enable" to re-enable them.

    Check for conflicts: Ensure that the static IP addresses you're trying to assign are not already in use by any other devices or adapters on your network.

    Disable IPv6: If you're not using IPv6, you can try disabling it on the loopback adapters. In the TCP/IPv6 properties window, select the "Obtain an IPv6 address automatically" option.

    And see if it helps,

    Thank you
