It has been 3+ years since I last played in MP, so can anyone tell me how I can start up a loopback server? Please?

Damm I forget the addy your suposta use I always just set up a normal server and don't list it with the master (I never could get the loop back thing to work) mabe someone else remembers.

well i figured someone else woulda helped by now... i'll give it a go, but it's been around a year or so since i've done this.
The easiest way was to fire up the server program and let it populate the dungeon. you then have to go to the area where the master server addy is and erase it. Next, is a little fuzzy, i believe the bound address is the one that you change to:
127.0.0.1:26000
then you have to activate the server. minimize it. fire up Demise and go to the MP page, type in 127.0.0.1:26000 in the upper right window and then highlight it and log in.
There was a way to use you computer's name as the bound address, but i don't remember that one and don't wish to confuse.
Also, i remember every now and then the server wouldn't let you log in to it. You had to shut down the game. go back into the server and kick yourself out of it... was the page that you could use to see who had been logging in. If it's an offline server then obiously you will be the only one listed. Sometimes it would think you were still loggeed in, when you weren't.
once again, been quite a while since i've done this, so hopefully this will be enough info to put you on the right track.

Thanks rc! THat got me up and running! and Dogg, I had some problems right at first, my solution was to delete the addy for the master server in the configure screen,
