so today i was troubleshooting my wifi connection. so i go to cmd and there is a bunch of Tunnel adapter. i take a look at the control panel network connections and i dont see anything about VPNs.
i remember once i created a vpn to connect to a network which i was testing but i deleted that. now i see a bunch of stuff there and its hard to troubleshoot because all i am looking for i my wireless connection ip.
so i start researching and if figure out a way to get rid of all those unnecessary 'Tunnel adapter'
this is what i got when i did ipconfig command on my windows 7 HP pavilion dv7 laptop:

so to get rid of all those 'Tunnel adapter isatap', try running this command in administrator mode (right click and select 'Run as Administrator on cmd.exe)
DOS COMMAND:
netsh int isa set state disable
now when you run ispconfig again, all those Tunnel Adapters will be gone
hope that helps
