This indicates that you do not have the Microsoft Loopback Adapter
installed.  Any chance you are using either a non-English version of
Windows or have CheckPoint's VPN-1 software installed on the machine?

If so, you will have to install the loopback adapter manually from
the Add/Remove Hardware Control Panel.

If you are not using 1.3.8201, please install that and let me know if
you are still seeing the issue.
