TAP v9 got installed, now nothing works
Shadow Hawkins on Sunday, 13 June 2010 22:31:30
I recently got IPv6 working with AICCU Command Line on Windows XP...then I went on vacation and a windows update upgraded from TAPv8 to TAPv9 and everything stopped; I tried reinstalling, and now nothing seems to work.
Originally, I tried the GUI mode for AICCU and it seemed to fail; I'm behind a NAT device with a static IP, so I tried setting things with 'netsh', and with the console mode, I got things to work, but it created 'aiccu' rather than 'sixxs' interface. I read the FAQ and it said that if there is a mismatch in names, and there is more than one interface, AICCU will fail, so I disabled any/all other TAP interfaces.
I uninstalled IPv6 and reinstalled, and tried to recreate...not successful.
At one point, 'autotest' worked up until part 6, indicating a route/interface problem (I disabled my firewall, usual ports are open on router). Since I tried to reinstall TAPv8, and I deleted the entries, though 'aiccu' still lists itself as v9, and I get a general failure of "No Working TAP device Found"

I'm more of a Linux person, but I can't do this at 'work' due to firewall issues, and due to family issues Linux won't be useful at home, so I'm stuck with XP (and I'm not a Windows expert).
Any 'recipe' to get this back? I'm using XP SP3. I'll open a ticket if this forum can't help...
TIA.
TAP v9 got installed, now nothing works
Jeroen Massar on Monday, 14 June 2010 07:50:01 then I went on vacation and a windows update upgraded from TAPv8 to TAPv9 and everything stopped; I tried reinstalling, and now nothing seems to work.
Unless magic truly exists, I really do not think Microsoft (Windows Updates) upgrades any TAP drivers for you.
Originally, I tried the GUI mode for AICCU and it seemed to fail;
The GUI version indeed does not support the v9 TAP driver. You need the newest console version for that.
I'm behind a NAT device with a static IP, so I tried setting things with 'netsh',
And I can only assume you did mess up something which now has completely broken your setup. Please do a 'netsh interface ipv6 reset' to go back to the default IPv6 settings. This might not remove any interfaces you manually created/misconfigured though, I am not sure there, maybe for that matter a better path is to uninstall IPv6, reboot, and re-install it again.
so I disabled any/all other TAP interfaces.
How is doing that going to help anything? AICCU cannot fix any misconfigurations.

Only thing I can guess what you might want to try is to remove all TUN/TAP interfaces and re-install them.
