Follow the tutorial on this link: HOW TO ACCESS TO XAMPP FROM BLUESTACKS.

It will guide you explicitly on how to install looback adapter on Windows and configure your IP.

Step 1: Install Microsoft Loopback Adapter in Network Connection Manager

To install the Loopback adapter in Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008 or Server 2012:

• Click Start, then type cmd in the search box. When cmd.exe appears, right-click it and choose Run as administrator.
• In the command prompt, type hdwwiz.exe and press Enter. Click Next.
• Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), then click Next.
• Select Network adapters, then click Next.
• Select Microsoft as the manufacturer, select Microsoft Loopback Adapter as the adapter, then click Next.
• Select Next to confirm the installation.
• Select Finish to complete the installation.

To configure the newly created adapter:

• Click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
• Select the newly created connection (named Local Area Connection #, where # is its order number).
• Right-click on the selected connection and choose Properties from the menu.
• Confirm that Microsoft Loopback Adapter or Microsoft Loopback Adapter # is displayed in the Connect Using: field. If it is not, return to step 2 and retry properties for another adapter.
• Deselect everything except Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
• Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties to open Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties. Select Use the following IP address. Fill in the IP address and Subnet mask fields. Example: 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0
• Click Advanced to open Advanced TCP/IP Settings.
• Switch to WINS and select Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
• Click OK to close Advanced TCP/IP Settings.
• Click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties. (Windows XP only) Deselect Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity to remove the connection warning icon from the system notification area.
• Click OK to close the connection properties.
