Dummy me... In Device Manager I uninstalled the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface. I need to know how to reinstall this interface. I've seen other postings on the web on how to configure it, but all those assume the interace is still visible in Device Manager.

So where do I find procedure to install this?

I'm on Windows 7 Professional x64.

Thanks

Hi DocBrown,

Follow the steps mentioned below:

First, let’s temporarily disable antivirus softwareand Firewallon the computer as a test.

Note: Make sure you turn-on the antivirus software and Windows Firewall later.

Now, let’s verify the status of relevant services required.

  1. Click Start , type services.msc in Start search box and hit Enter.
  2. Right-click the Peer Networking Grouping service and select Properties .
  3. Check if the service is started; if not, right-click and select Start .
  4. You may also set the Startup type to Automatic under Properties .
  5. Click OK .

Repeat the above steps for the service PNRP Machine Name Publication Service , **** too.

Next step would be to modify IPv6 registry key to enable IPV6:

ImportantThis section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  1. Click Start , type regedit in Start Search Bar and hit Enter.

**Note:**If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.

  1. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters

  1. Check whether DisabledComponents registry key exists. If yes, let's proceed to the next step.
  2. Double click the DisabledComponents registry key and modify the value to 0 .

If the DisabledComponents entry is unavailable, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. In the Edit menu, point to New , and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value .
  2. Type DisabledComponents , and then press ENTER.
  3. Double-click DisabledComponents .

Type 0 to enable all IPv6 components.

  1. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

Have you enabled the option - show hidden devices ?

Device Manager > View > CHECK show hidden devices.

Expand Network adapters

Is Microsoft Teredo Tunneling Adapter listed?

Cheers!

    Thank you, Gokul! I have been pulling my hair out for the last 14 hours trying to figure why the Teredo protocol on my network interface would show 'disconnected' after a couple of seconds after booting. I tried EVERY post on every board before finding this, only to end up beating my keyboard when the other 4 dozen 'fixes' did nothing :( I added the registry value, rebooted, and WHAM! Thanks... Now I can go home!

    Hi DocBrown,

    Device Manager does not display all devices by default. Non–Plug and Play devices and certain other devices are hidden. At times, you might need to view these hidden devices for troubleshooting problems with devices installed on your computer.

    In addition to hiding non–Plug and Play devices, Device Manager also hides phantom devices. These are devices which are not currently attached to the computer.

    OK, I'm back... Got busy on other things, now back to this...

    Yes, the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface is listed when I show hidden devices.

    I know this may not be important, but why is it hidden now when before it was not?

    Thanks for the great detailed instructions.

    John
