After installing Windows Vista Enterprise, I noticed that IPv6 is on automatically. I am not sure if that is the problem. However, I saw five Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection showed up when I do an ipconfig/all in command prompt window. How do I turn these five connections off? I'm thinking that these Tunnel connections are the cause of sites being very slow and sometimes not even loading the page. I also have a Windows XP Pro as a virtual machine inside of this Vista host machine and when I logged into this Windows XP virtual machine, the page loads fine and/or much faster than it was in Vista. Windows XP virtual machine also uses IE version 7. So I want to turn off the Tunnel connection first and go from there to diagnose this problem.
 
Your virtual connections are the consequnce of the virtual Windows XP instalation. If you keep that installation you have to keep the connections.
 
Thanks for the response. So are you saying that because I have a virtual machine installed in Vista OS, Vista automatically create the Tunnel connections? If that's true, the only way to remove it is not to have the virtual machine installed, correct?
 
It's not the Vista, it's the virtual machine sofware that creates virtual connections. I run VMWare and I have several VMware Network Adapters on my system. IPv6 is irrelevant here. Did you try disabling the conenctions?
