Not sure at all this will help but I saw in my Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Device Manager today both 6TO4 and isatap devices of some sort. I was
trying to configure a 3rd party Bluetooth driver(s). After uninstalling
those drivers and turning on Vista's Bluetooth capability again (Fn-F12)
all the Bluetooth capability came to life in the Device Manager and these
two devices disappeared.

I am still unable to solve the unplugged cable problem despite still
having
full internet connection. I have looked in my Device Manager in the
control
panel & under Network Adaptors are 13 instances of 6TO4 adaptors with
explanation marks on & 15 instances of isatap
03E45671-B214-4734-9F14-F5AA43F87018 with explanation marks on, can
someone
tell me what these are & whether they are responsible for my unplugged
cable
problem? If so, what do I do? My ethernet cable and Speedtouch modem are
in
the same list under these items but tests on them have shown they are
working
normally and also that they have the latest drivers installed. Thanks

Susan,
The Microsoft 6to4 adapter and ISATAP adapter are part of Microsoft's
support for the IPv6 networking standard -- which will be needed in the
coming years as the current pool of IPv4 addresses shrinks. These
devices appear typically if the drivers loaded for your network card
aren't fully Vista compliant. You can try going to the vendor's site
and see if they have updated drivers for your network card or, since you
can successfully connect to the Internet you can disable the adapters.
Once the adapters are disabled you shouldn't see any prompts regarding a
disconnected cable.

they all say the drivers are not loaded properly then when I try to update
them they say the drivers are currently up to date so have disabled them and
STILL have the red cross!!! very frustrating
