    Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 12: Media State : Media disconnected
    My computer that is connected to my router gets the internet, but all other wireless things (laptops, wii, etc.) won't connect to the inter net. When I go to command and do ipconfig I get

    The tunnel adapted local area connection 12 is the main problem, and I'm kind of scared of losing the 6 connection also... so any help?

    Are you broadcasting your wireless network? What is the SSID? How are you attempting?

    The output you listed indicates that this machine was able to receive a DHCP address from the gateway. So it isn't clear where the problem is at this point. Can you do the following from the device that works as well as one of the devices that doesn't work?

    Ipconfig /all
    Netstat -rn

    Also what type of wireless router and wired router (if different) do you have?

    The OP will correct me if I am wrong here, but I think the output the OP displayed is from the wired PC, not the wireless.

    I agree more info is needed, I would like to make sure the OP does in fact have wireless, it's broadcasting, she's correctly attempting to connect etc... before we get into many more details of more serious things. The reason for this is DHCP does seem to be working fine (as shown in the output) and maybe the OP confused a wired router for wireless, or another setting on the router is enabled the OP didn't know about etc...

    Waiting for more info...

    Also, the two tunneling adapters are IPv6-IPv4 (and vice versa) translators. They are used inconjuction with IPv6. Since most users don't use IPv6 then they either disable the IPv6 or the adapters. But, they do no harm and you don't need to worry about them. The one you need to worry about is IPv4 but by the ouput you have displayed, you're successfully connected to your network.

    Provide the information asked by cajalat and myself and we can further assist you.
