I have a yellow ? in my Device Manager entry for the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface. This is a 3 week old Windows 7 64bit machine. I saw messages similar to this in this forum and have run an ipconfig /all with the following results:

I would be most appreciative if you can help me with this (apparently) slight problem. I do not know that this situation is causing me any difficulty but I like to keep my computer running well.

Thanks in advance,

Chuck

Hi,

First lets follow these below steps and  check if the issue gets resolved.

Right click the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface > Update Driver Software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer ->  network Adapter > Microsoft > Microsoft teredo tunneling adapter

To troubleshoot your issue you may try the below methods one by one.

The error message you posted indicates that you have an incompatible driver or the device driver is missing.

To make sure that you download the correct and the most up-to-date version of the driver driver, visit the Motherboard manufacturer’s website wherein all the drivers will be listed. Select the appropriate driver for the device that is compatible with Windows 7.

You may uninstall the existing driver from device manager before installing the new one.

1.    Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel , clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.

 If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2.    Locate the sound card, right click on it and select properties .

3.    Go to driver tab and click on Uninstall button to uninstall the driver associated with the device.

Once the uninstall completes, restart your computer and check if the issue got resolved.

Thanks and Regards:

I. Suuresh Kumar- Microsoft Support.

    Hey everyone, I had the same code 10 problem with Teredo Tunnel  Pseudo-Interface when I connected my laptop with a public library router. Fortunately I found this solution which really worked it out! (My OS is Vista x64 SP2, but I think XP and Win7 can also follow the same solution)

    Solution:

    1. Open command prompt with administrator credentials (Find CMD and right-click - Run as Administrator).
    2. Enter netsh environment. Type "netsh" and ENTER.
    3. "int teredo" and ENTER
    4. "set state disabled" and ENTER.
    5. Open Device Manager and uninstall "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface".
    6. Open command prompt with administrator credentials once again.
    7. netsh + ENTER.
    8. "int ipv6" + ENTER
    9. "set teredo client" + ENTER
    10. Open Device Manager and Scan for new hardware.
    11. Select "Show hidden devices" from the View menu. You will now see that it is present without errors with any luck.

    After trying Frank57192008 (Original credit to Srinivas R from MS Support) steps and rebooting Teredo tunneling did not show in device manager even while showing hidden devices.  The next thing I did was to make a change in the registry and all is working and displaying correctly.   Additional thanks go to S76brx

    S76brx says:

    "Here's what worked for me.  It's in the windows knowledge base. 

    In the start menu search bar type in REGEDIT to open the registry editor.  Navigate through the following:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\TCPIP6\PARAMETERS.  In the right pane, right click Disabled Components and select edit.  Set the DWord value to 0."

    [  In my computer DWord was set to ff. You must Restart your computer and the teredo tunneling adapter will now start. ]

    I skipped Frank57 and went straight to the registry following the instruction which you provided - mine too was set to ff which I reset to 0 -> reboot - magic.  Not sure why it occurred but - Thank you!
