   Taking this step by step, does this output from "route print" make any   
   sense to you?

     5...00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e0 Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #4   
   ===========================================================================   
      
   Of the 9 items in that list, I only recognize the TP-Link USB dongle, and   
   the RealTek Ethernet adapter. I guess the VirtualBox adapter is because I   
   have VirtualBox installed. And I guess the TAP adapter is because I   
   sometimes use OpenVPN.   
      
   The Wi-Fi direct adapter has the same MAC address as the TP-Link dongle so   
   it's probably inside the dongle.   
      
   But what is the "Teredo" or "ISATAP" adaptor?   
      
   Googling, both the Teredo & ISATAP things are related to IPv6 I think.

   What does my "route print" tell you that you can tell me?
