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 everyone, I have the same problem with the Teredo Tunnel Pseudo-Interface.  I put in a new hard disk (WD 1T) and installed Win 7.  When I tried to connect to the homegroup, the Teredo problem came up with error code 10.  Checking through, it came up that IPv6 had to be installed.  My PC is using IPv4, however, the IPv6 button is checked so that an automatic IP can be obtained. I already tried all of the suggestions indicated above but to no avail.

    The previous hard disk (Seagate Barracuda, 250 G) had been upgraded from Vista SP2 to Win 7 and it was running the homegroup just fine.  The IPv6 address is very difficult to install since I am not an expert but I have repaired all of our PC's previously.  I expect MS to post an answer ASAP because if not LINUX and MAC will be getting a whole lot of new clients.

    I do have Zone Alarm installed but it is the Free version which does not have the capabilities that are desribed in the link you gave. I tried disabling ZA, enabling Windows Firewall and rebooting but the Tunneling exclamation point was still there. I cannot tell that this is causing an operational problem, though I don't know that it isn't, and I've gotten quite busy with other projects. If I find out that ZA changed the registry adversely, I will become a FORMER fan of ZA!

    Thanks to you both for your suggestions.
