· Network Connectivity Status Icon. This feature determines whether a system is connected
to a network by either passive monitoring of network traffic or active DNS or HTTP queries.
The query only transfers standard TCP/IP or DNS information for routing purposes. You can
switch off the active query feature through a registry setting.
· Windows Time Service. This service synchronizes with time.windows.com once a week to
provide your computer with the correct time. You can turn this feature off or choose your
preferred time source within the Date and Time Control Panel applet. The connection uses
standard NTP protocol.
· IPv6 Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal service (Teredo). This feature helps
existing home Internet gateway devices transition to IPv6. IPv6 is next generation Internet
protocol. It helps enable end-to-end connectivity often needed by peer-to-peer applications.
To do so, each time you start up the software the Teredo client service
will attempt to locate
a public Teredo Internet service. It does so by sending a query over the Internet. This
query only transfers standard
Domain Name Service information to determine if your
computer is connected to the Internet and can locate a public Teredo service. If you
· use an application (e.g. Windows Meeting Space) that needs IPv6 connectivity or
· configure your firewall to always enable IPv6 connectivity
by default standard Internet Protocol information will be sent to the Teredo service at
Microsoft at regular intervals. No other information is sent to Microsoft. You can change
this default to use non-Microsoft servers. You can also switch off this feature using a
command line utility named “netsh”.
