Tunnel Interface Driver

[nazrul]

recently when i run 'ipconfig', besides the regular i get
some extra stuff that i didn't use to get before:

Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::5445:5245:444f%4
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

Tunnel adapter 6to4 Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : cobleskill.edu
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . ..: 2002:8924:e8a9::8924:e8a9
DefaultGateway . . .......: 2002:836b:213c:1:e0:8f08:f020:8
2002:c058:6301::c058:6301
2002:836b:213c::836b:213c

Tunnel adapter Automatic Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : cobleskill.edu
IP Address. . . . . . . . ....: fe80::5efe:137.36.232.169%2
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :


When I run a network analyzer and choose the adapter
theres an extra one:"MS Tunnel Interface Driver"
with an Internal Name:
"\Device\Packet_{BD284A22-523A-4AC4-A0DF-7617BA7-69B28}"

I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me what
all this extra stuff does and how to get rid of it.

This is IPv6 stuff.

You have either installed IPv6 manually,
or it was installed as part of the Peer-to-Peer
components from the Advanced Networking Pack.

Check in Add/Remove software, WIndows Components, Networking.
If Peer-To-Peer is selected, then that's where it came from.

The 3 tunnel adapters are virtual network cards used to
provide IPv6 connectivity in different ways over the
conventional IPv4 Internet.

If you'd like to learn more, start here:

For an explanation of the various tunneling technologies, follow the
link to IPv6/IPv4 Coexistence and Migration.

You can un-select it if you wish, and un-instal IPv6
from the Network Properties of your network card.
