  <p>I just installed the ADT Plugin for eclipse but I keep getting the error alert on start of eclipse: <code>Failed to initialize Monitor Thread: Unable to establish loopback connection</code> after I click <code>OK</code> It goes onto repeated connection attempts that look like this </p>
  
  <p><code>[2011-09-20 13:19:58 - DeviceMonitor]Connection attempts: 321</code> </p>
  
  <p>There are 320 other logs like this in my eclipse console and it increases like every second or so. I've been trouble shooting this for almost a week now I can't seem to figure out what to do. I've uninstalled and re-installed the sdk, un-installed and re-installed eclipse but this error still comes up. Does anyone have any Idea what to do?</p>
  
  <p>My development platform in windows. </p>
