Remove Tunnel adapter from IPCONFIG

Question

When I run ipconfig /all I get a list of 50 or more Tunnel adapter local area connection*#

Media state …. Media disconnected.

IPV6 is off.

How do I remove the Tunnel adapter local area connection from the ipconfig /all command.  There are so many lines that you cant look back and get the IPV4 info. Such as DNS setting default gateway and IP address.

I have an ASUS CM6870 desktop equipped with a wireless adapter and that runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit....Recently, I started to experience intermittent internet disconnection problems...The problem was not related to the wireless router or ISP because all the other mobile devices were able to connect internet without any problem. I did a lot of online search but no proposed solution worked for me...For instance, antivirus software was not causing the problem as proposed by some. My desktop has Symantec Endpoint Protection.  

Long story short, Ajay K's Step 1 solution cured the problem. Basically turning off the IP Helper service was the cure!

I am not experiencing annoying disconnection problems any more....Thanks very much Ajay K! Greatly appreciated.

Answer 3

Perfect solution. Thank you!

Answer 4

Works as advertised.

Thanks Brian.

If it continues I'll try adding AJay's steps.

Hi Tunnel Help,

I would suggest you to try the following steps:

Step 1: Disable the IP Helper service:

---

1.     Hold the Windows key and type R, enter "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter

2.    Scroll down to the IP Helper service, right click on it and select Properties

3.     In the dropdown box that says "Automatic" or "Manual", set it to Disabled and then click on "Apply"

4.    Then click on "Stop" to stop the service from running in the current session.

5.     Click OK to exit the dialog

**Step 2:**Disable certain Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) components, follow the steps provided in the link below (As pointed out by Brain):
