host network adapter "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" is invalid or mi

The following warrning is logged in the Virtual Server event log:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Virtual Server

Description:
The host network adapter "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" is invalid or missing.

I'm running XP 64bit SP2 with Virtual Server 2005 SP 1. I have set up the
"Microsoft Loopback Adapter" on XP so that I can communicate with the VM's on
the Virtual Server and connect to the internet from the VM's.

I have looked at a couple of support articles regarding "Microsoft Loopback
Adapter" and have search for this error, but to no avail.

Maybe I'm doing something stupid wrong when setting the Adapter up, although
it's quite strait forward. I saw something published about a patch for
something related, I have not tried it, but will use it as a last resort.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Schalk

The article regarding the patch:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=884020
"Programs that connect to IP addresses that are in the loopback address
range may not work as you expect in Windows XP Service Pack 2"

This article points to the following patch:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=17D997D2-5034-4BBB-B74D-AD8430A1F7C8&displaylang=en&displaylang=en

which is for 32bit, so I need to find the same for 64bit before I try it.

Also, I have VPC installed and from there I see the loopback adapter as a
option for the virtual network, but in virtual server it does not even appear
as a option.

Thanks
