HELP ! what the heck is a "Teredo tunneling pseudo-interface"?

[dimmy32]

I was in my device manager and found this error - I know nothing about what it means. Should I be concerned ?

It's part of the IPv6 network interface in Windows Vista. I wouldn't concern myself with it unless you need to use IPv6.

Teredo tunneling is a method of tunneling IPV6 traffic over an IPV4 network.

There are lots of issues with it so it is best to make your network 100% IPV6 or 100% IPV4. Most home users are stuck with IPV4 because that is all their routers and switches can handle.

How do i know if my home network is IPV6 or IPV4 ?
I haveDSL with a lynksys modem, running 4 other comps wireless....

Networking is not my forte....

99.9999999% of the networking in the world is IPv4

Open a CMD window and enter [ipconfig/all[/b]. The display will indicate IPV6 if it is available. Here is what my notebook wireless connection looks like.

I, too, am having a Code 19 problem with the Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface. Unfortunately it has affected my USB CF Reader and ScanDisk c250 (MP3 Player) - which really ticks me off. Anyone know how to fix this so I can atleast load songs?

Thanks,
Jacob
