Configuring a Loopback Adapter or static IP address
Configure a Loopback Adapter or static IP address on your management station.
A Loopback Adapter is required if you want to install XP Performance Advisor on:
• A DHCP computer
• A non-networked computer and plan to connect the computer to a network after installation
If you use a Loopback Adapter, ensure that it is assigned as the primary network adapter. For more
information on Loopback Adapter, see Appendix A on page 129.
Switching the IIS Admin service to manual start mode
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that your user account has administrative privileges to perform the following tasks. Perform
this procedure only if IIS Admin service is active on the management station, where you want to install
XP Performance Advisor.
Set the IIS Admin service to Manual start mode before installing XP Performance Advisor. If the IIS
Admin service is running on your management station, the XP Performance Advisor installer will not
proceed.
To switch the IIS Admin service to Manual start mode:
1. Go to Start > Run and type Services.msc in the command line.
The Services window appears.
2. Double-click IIS Admin service.
3. In the IIS Admin Service window, select the Startup type as Manual.
4. Click Apply and OK to save the changes.
5. Close the Services window.

XP Performance Advisor Tomcat service in XP Performance Advisor uses port 80 for all its
communications. Run the following command to release port 80 for XP Performance Advisor:
