HI Stebie I don't have any of those entries in my registry, yet I still have the tun miniport #2 and no matter what I done it does not let me uninstall it.

Well gang I finally got rid of all the tun miniports adapters I had in my pc.
I am using XP Pro, and this is how I did it.
First I uninstalled SP2, then I rebooted my XP PRo CD and when I selected install windows it gave me two options, new install or upgrade, I selected upgrade, it looks like it did a good repair and did not delete any of my programs, then I did all the XP updates (SP2,etc) and when it was finished no more TUN Miniport adapters.
Don't know if what I did will work for everybody, so be careful, all I know it worked for me.
Now I will like to find out what was that installed them and why they can't be uninstalled easily , except the tcip/6 via the uninstall command

I have had the same problem and really don't know why? The solution is simple: Go to "network Places" and look at properties of connections. Besides "Client for Microsoft Networks", "File and Printer Sharing...", "Microsoft TCP/IP", etc., there is an entry with the name "Microsoft TCP/IP version 6". Just uninstall this and the problem should be gone.

I can't say anything about the others, but this one works great. Thanks!!!!
