Tun Miniport Adapter

Tun Miniport Adapter -

Can any one please tell me

- what this is
- what it does
- why it always gives "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
- why one cannot remove it "may be needed for boot" (but it doesn't
work anyway!)

Thanks

David

If there were ever enough sites using the new IPv6 protocol, you would need
it. Right now, Vista puts a v6 packet in a v4 envelope. XP does not.
