I looked around and could not find a post about this... from time to time, I get new network interfaces showing up on machines that are not changing in any way. I have ruled out multiple ip's, nic's etc. These literally happen all the time and I think to date all in Win OS environments. Today for example, I have 3 new Local Area Connections (labeled 9,10 and 11). The server in question has but a single IP and ipv6 is off.... yet each of the NICS being reported as new show ipv6 addresses. It shows the interface type as tunnel(x3) and one called Interface Type=6 (ethernetCsmacd) which has an IP which isn't even in this subnet -and- belongs to a different server. Further, this server does not have any VPN services or any other type of tunnel protocol enabled.
ipconfig/all shows none of these adapters, mac addresses or anything. Any thoughts as to why this keeps happening and how to stop it?
Thanks!
Hi,
did you check what is reported on Windows server with ipconfig /all command?
Best regards,
