No driver selected running netsh to activate tunnel for ipv6


I am trying to run netsh commands to activate a tunnelbroker tunnel in Windows 10. The first command works fine. When I attempt the second command (netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel interface=IP6Tunnel localaddress=xxxxxxx remoteaddress= 216.66.22.2) I get the error "There is no driver selected for the device information set or element."

I cannot find an answer for this, even from tunnelbroker. Does anyone have a suggestion? This is driving me up a wall.


Solution

  • It's not an Insider issue. Microsoft decided to step down on IPv6 transition technologies as of Redstone 4 (1803). Unfortuntely, instead of just deactivating it, they stopped providing the tunnel driver at all (nettun.inf, tunnel.sys). It's unclear at this point whether Microsoft intents to fix this or not.
