Installing a loopback adapter for Oracle SOA Suite

A loopback adapter is required in any of these scenarios:

• you are installing on a DHCP computer.

• you are installing on a non-networked computer and plan to connect the computer to a network after installation.

• you are installing on a computer with multiple aliases.

• you are installing on a networked computer (with static IP or DHCP), but you want to be able to run Oracle Application Server when you take the computer off the network..
