I have discovered that in device manager 6to4 adapter is listed several
times. After I delete the duplicates, they accumulate again in the course of
time. Does anybody know the reason ?

Go here:

Type in "device manager" in the search field.

Dropdown options menu should appear.

Type in further key word(s) pertaining to area of interest.

Select relevent option.

Hi
Can you take a good screen shoot of the adapters in the device manger and
put it on one of the image hosting sites (like http://www.imageshack.us/ ) ,
and post a link here.

Hi Jack,

yesterday I have disabled IPv6 support through the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters
DisabledComponents=dword:00000011) and deleted all aforementioned 6TO4
entries in the device manager (deleted two isatap entries as well)

In the device manager network adapters group I have now the following
entries only:

Intel(R) 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection
WAN Miniport (SSTP)
WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (IPv6)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (PPTP)

It is kind of solution as long as I don't need to use IPv6, but it is atill
annoying...
Some three weeks have passed since I have cleaned up 6TO4 entries the last
time (I had some 20), yesterday I had 6 or 7.
