6TO4 Adapter

[Mark R. Cusumano]

Here is an odd problem. Ever since I have had my laptop (which came with
Vista Home Premium installed) device manager shows under Network adapters
that the 6TO4 Adapter is not functioning properly and shows this error:

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers
required for this device. (Code 31)

Of course when I scan for an updated driver it tells me the driver is up to
date. Since I apparently don't use this device (I assume it's for IPv6
connectivity) it's never impacted my system but I am curious as to how to
fix the problem.

Visit the mfg's support site and download an updated driver, or contact
their tech support.

Don't scan for an updated driver. Go to your laptop mftr.'s tech support
website and download the drivers for your specific model laptop.

This may not be a real error at all! See Microsoft support article 932520
(just type number in search box on MS site)

Thanks, that kinda of what I though but it is nice getting a confirmation
from Microsoft.

You update the driver, if required, from Dell NOT MS update
