6TO4 Adapter

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by Mark R. Cusumano, Jan 10, 2008.

  1. Here is an odd problem. Ever since I have had my laptop (which came with
    Vista Home Premium installed) device manager shows under Network adapters
    that the 6TO4 Adapter is not functioning properly and shows this error:

    This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers
    required for this device. (Code 31)

    Of course when I scan for an updated driver it tells me the driver is up to
    date. Since I apparently don't use this device (I assume it's for IPv6
    connectivity) it's never impacted my system but I am curious as to how to
    fix the problem.

    Don't scan for an updated driver. Go to your laptop mftr.'s tech support
    website and download the drivers for your specific model laptop.

    from Microsoft.

    So why does this error occur then because I have it in my device manager
    too. The Microsoft website site saids just to ignore the problem but I
    am curious why it happens and why are we suppose to leave it like that?

    Victor Charles Quote: That the 6TO4 Adapter problem is a 'Vista Problem'

    With respect this is Not So; When I was using XP Pro the same element
    was highlighted in 'Device Manager' MS in my opinion did not give this
    a high priority because at the time there was not the pressure on the
    internet that there is now.
    To relieve the user pressure Ipv6 is required as much as Ipv4.
    Despite this tiny history lesson; when are MS going to create a fix? OR
    perhaps they have and know one has told me! :confused:

    I noticed that I have this same problem. I think I might have found,
    well for me anyway, what it might be.

    I have wireless broadband, so I decided I was due for reformatting. So
    I did a system recovery. Afterwards I check in device manager and the
    6to4 adapter was not to be seen. Then I loaded my wireless broadband and
    check again. It was like magic cause it had returned. So I feel that it
    has something to do with my wireless modem.

    My net connection also cut of, not sure why.

    My re-dialing options change from what I set it to, 24hours, back to
    never.

    I have Vista 32-bit basic.

    I have investigated this problem for some time now,and the solution
    seems as far away as ever. Even the software and firmware writers
    cannot come up with an answer that we 'simple' folk can interpret on our
    PC's to get rid of this ? error.
    Any one out there who can point loads of frustrated users to a
    solution? :geek:
    Perhaps it should be ignored, what do others think?

    Regards

    You update the driver, if required, from Dell NOT MS update
