Windows Vista Home Premium. I should mention that I am having no problem whatever getting an internet connection.
When I type "ipconfig" in the console, I get (55!) messages of 3 lines each, listing a ton of disconnected network connections. My PC only has one network card. Each message looks like this:
Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 55:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
These don't cause a major problem; they make it a pain, though, to fish upward and find my IP address. How can I get rid of them?
Edit:
Actually, a few connection numbers are randomly missing from the sequence; so, it's really more like 30 or 40 connection messages, rather than all 55. Not sure why that is, either.
