Can't get an IPv6 tunnel to work on windows 7.

At this point, no netsh commands work without generating the "duplicate name exists" error.  I'm not even too sure what this error refers to, despite some rather extensive googling.

If I could just get past the "duplicate name exists" crap, I'd be on my way to trying this again.

It's working, thanks for the assist!

ipconfig /all showed another tunnel adapter existed (I probably fat-fingered it when typing in the commands).  "netsh interface ipv6 delete interface IPTunnel2" took care of the problem.

The lesson I took away from this is that "netsh interface ipv6 reset" does not actually reset anything back to the initial install.  It appears to restore a few default settings, but previously-created tunnels are not removed.

Just came across another annoying issue that caused my tunnel to go down:  At some point during a Windows update, the following registry entry was reset from "0" to "ff":

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters\DisabledComponents

With this changed, all IPv6 interfaces were absent from ipconfig /all.  In addition, running the following command produced the dreaded "Element not found" error:

netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel IP6Tunnel yy.yy.yy.yy xx.xx.xx.xx

Resetting the registry key above to "0" and rebooting got IPv6 working again.

Odd.  I did updates all the time and never have this happen under XP.  They've really broken this under 7?

EDIT: nevermind, it just started to work again - no idea why.

Hello guys, i seem to have a strange problem with my tunnel here:
Yesterday everything worked nicely, fast and stable - but today when i woke up IPv6 was dead (i never turn my PC off, so it cant be a issue related to a reboot)

Maybe someone can see the error in my ipconfig /all?
Beware: The Windows is German, i translated the text for you, so it could look "dumb" at some places.

What i tryed:
Remove IP6Tunnel and reiconfigure it - did not help at all.
