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.

    Hi http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/profile/e0f76379-1bbc-4a22-a30b-40706e8358f1[Nithyananda J](http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/profile/e0f76379-1bbc-4a22-a30b-40706e8358f1 "Nithyananda J"), so You work for Microsoft, and don't know that the "Toredo tunneling Pseudo interface" is not a sound card nor any other piece of hardware, but rather a part of the IPv6 network interface in Windows used to tunnel IPv6 communications over an IPv4 connection????  And it is made and installed by Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And you make all of these people scan their PC's for device drivers, which can not work even if there was one, because when you try to install a corrupted or wrong driver, it will be the same one that caused the problem, so a new one has to be downloaded.

    Typical Micro$oft:  It is never your fault, the user is always wrong, and Microsoft can do no wrong!!!!!!!!

    Windows 10 is SPYWARE of the worst kind!!!!!!!  Thank god for LINUX!

    I have recently after installing the March2015 MS-Updates, also picked up a Code10 on the “Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter”. This post is for information only and shows that the issues raised concerning the “Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter” are possibly not as strait forward as hinted at by some commentators on this and other Forums, KB-Articles, Help files etc. on the INet. I am not giving any instructions on how and were to make the changes I have used. Readers who do not know what I am referring to need to familiarise themselves with the workings of the Microsoft OS first.

    Running on:

    HP ProBook 4520s(WT281EA), x64-based PC, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) with BIOS Ver. HP 68AZZ Ver. F.50, 2014-07-08, OS= Microsoft Windows 7 Professional ver. 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    1. Set Service: Peer Networking Grouping = Automatic
    2. Set Service: PNRP Machine Name Publication Service = Automatic

    As both Services were not Started!

    1. Modify IPv6 registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters>DisabledComponents = 0

    3.1 Delete Hexadecimal

    3.2 Change to Decimal

    3.3 ê(Entered) 0

    1. Shut down and Cold Boot (INet=Offline, Not connected to Domain)
    2. Check:

    5.1 DM(View-hidden): 3x instances of Microsoft ISATAP adapter

                                        MS Teredo Tunneling Adapter

                                        No 6to4 Adapter

                                        Other devices? = for Keyboard_Filter_01: No driver required. This device is

                                        working properly.

    5.2 Run DM(Device Manager) "Scan for hardware changes = No Changes all appears = OK

    5.3 Connect to INet using Vodacom(41.13.158.189), iPhone4(8GB)-USB(ENet)-ITeth., Edge connection=256kbit/s.

    5.3.1 Launch: IE9>http://test-ipv6.com/ (Note that this site generates its own “Tabs” for navigation)

    Summary:

    Your IPv4 address on the public Internet appears to be 41.13.158.189 (ISP-Assigned=Public(not static))

    Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) appears to be VODACOM-ZA,ZA

    No IPv6 address detected [more info]ê=(Tab)faq: No IPv6

    Good news! Your current configuration will continue to work as web sites enable IPv6.

    You appear to be able to browse the IPv4 Internet only. You will not be able to reach IPv6-only sites.

    Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have no access to the IPv6 Internet, or is not configured to use it. This may in the future restrict your ability to reach IPv6-only sites. [more info]ê=faq: v6ns Bad

    No IPv6 address detected [more info]>faq: No IPv6>Why IPv6 FAQê=Why IPv6

    No IPv6 address detected [more info]>faq: No IPv6 states:

    If you are savvy with technology, you can be an early adopter of IPv6, consider learning more about 6to4 providers (managed 6to4 tunnel services). The use of automatic tunnels is discouraged [see more]ê=6to4

    5.4 Service: Peer Networking Grouping>Automatic = Started

    5.5 Service: PNRP Machine Name Publication Service>Automatic = Started

    5.6 IPv6 registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters>DisabledComponents =

     Reset to: Hexadecimal = 8e, Decimal = 142.

    I have seen the "Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter" and "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface" referred to in Forum posts without a clear indication if they are identical and interchangeable. I have picked up in a historic Belarc-Report that at some stage I had the latter installed and now I have the Microsoft one. Whether the two are interchangeable is not clear to me at this stage. Furthermore I now need to see how things will change when I connect the Laptop to a domain. The results I have observed so far are not very confidence inducing and appear unstable.

    When I tried your first suggestion, to load a driver located already on my computer, I got a response of:

     Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software . . .

     Windowsl found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

     Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter

     This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    1. I was not sure how to get the proper information about the motherboard manufacturer so as to go to their website so I had Windows search my computer and the internet for a new driver and got this back:

     The best driver for your device is already installed

    1. I uninstalled the driver for the High Definition Audio Device  under “Sound, video and game controllers” in accordance with your last suggestion and when I rebooted got the following:

     High Definition Audio Device installed

    I hope I did what you intended that I should do. The yellow triangle is still there and the device still cannot start.

    Let me ask this: How important a problem is this and how should I expect it to impact the functioning of my computer?

    Thanks again in advance,

    Chuck
