help networking trouble

[BabyHeadCrab]

anyone know what the tunnel adapter automatic blah blah things mean? they only showed up recently and im scared it's a trojan from my brothers comp (we connect via linksys router with cable connection) after some problems lots of headaches and caffinated soda we finally got the net back up but this new sh!t appears!

:rolling: :rolling: anyone have any idea what it means?

also notice my good ol' ip adress has been changed to a ton of random jargon
WTF (under basic ethernet) why has it done this? I just wish things were back to normal ugh

-bhc any help would earn you a big pat on the back from me :cheers:

It's just IPv6 stuff in WinXP. Nothing to worry about.

It comes with SP1 I believe.

my network has been really shakey lately and this is the first time I have seen it

also when I auto detect under network adapters, two more automatically appear with random numbers as there titles.. I think / hope it's a windows thing...

thanks for all your help, the link seemed like spanish to me lol (dont understand a word of it) but I hope my network stays stable for at least the next couple weeks (setup is simple just a router giving net to my bro/family and me through a direct cable connection. bleh I dont undertand I wish they made this more simple for networking dumbasses like me so I would know how to fix it when shit goes nuts all the time. and I also hope no spyware/malware/trojans made there way from my bro's comp to mine (though I doubt it)

i've also noticed one of the svhost processes is takeing up way to much of my sys mem (around 17,000) up there with firefox and other things. I was wondering if my network config had anything to do with this.

thx again

Did it used to take up that much mem?

I have one about the same (12000).
