What???
Why would you interface a virtual machine with a loopback directly? If the host machine has no working NIC, what would a loopback cable do?

Clear, concise instructions. And they work! Who could ask for anything more.

Never done anything with a virtual machine that needed a network connection to the main computer. I would assume they already had some type of virtual connection built in. Or at least a way to share files between the virtual machine and your actual machine.
