This is the same,
- Control Pannel>Network>
- then view status of the "Local Area Connection"
- then as below


1.Open the network adapter properties
2.Open the TCP/IP properties
3.Click Advanced
4.Add a new IP
5.Enter your fail-over IP
6.Enter the subnet 255.255.255.0
7.Click the Add button then OK, then OK again
8.Say 'Yes' to the multiple gateways question box
9.Ping your IP

this works, http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1883

I haven't been able to get the loopback adapter principle working , but if you just want the failover IP to be recognised on the machine it'll work.
