What is the Tunnel Adaptor Automatic Tunelling Pseudo-Interface?
7th November 2006
Have you seen the above when typing an ipconfig/all and wondered what it was and how to remove it? I came across it when trying to add a problem laptop to a domain. Oddly even though the account I was using was a domain admin I kept getting an access is denied message. After deciding the error message was misleading and it was more of a network issue I found the “Tunnel adaptor Automatic Tunelling Pseudo-Interface” when I looked at the network details. Here’a a VERY easy way to remove this.
The above means that ip version 6 is installed. If you don’t have an ip version 6 network and you are getting grief as I was then the simple resolution is to remove ip version 6. To do this simply open a command prompt and type the following:
ipv6 uninstall
It really is as simple as that!
