Tunngle is a program with a rather complex and not always clear system structure. It is no wonder that this or that breakdown can very often occur here. Tunngle has about 40 messages about various crashes and errors, to which about the same number should be added. possible problems about which the program itself is not able to report. We should also talk about one of the most popular - Error 4-109.
Error 4-109 in Tunngle reports that the program failed to initiate network adapter. This means that Tunngle is not able to start its adapter and connect to the network on its behalf. As a result, the application is unable to connect and perform its direct duties.
The reasons for this problem can be different, but most of them in one way or another boil down to incorrect installation. In its process, the installer tries to create its own adapter with the appropriate rights on the system, and some conditions may prevent this. Very often the culprits are computer protection systems - firewall and antiviruses.
Solution
The first thing to do is to reinstall the program.
After that, you should perform the installation in the normal mode. After the end, it is not recommended to immediately run the program, you must first restart the system. After that everything should work correctly.
Conclusion
it official instruction to fix this system, and most users report that this is often enough. Error 4-109 is quite common, and is fixed very simply without the need for additional editing of network adapter rules or digging in the registry.
When using the Tunngle network adapter, it is not uncommon for a situation to occur that an initialization error occurs. This situation can occur due to a number of reasons, but you need to understand how you can act in each case in order to eliminate this problem.
There are a variety of reasons why the ability to initialize the Tunngle network adapter is lost. First of all, this is due to errors in the installation of the client or the network adapter itself. This can happen, for example, due to manual cancellation of the installation by the user or various failures caused by the operation of anti-virus programs. It happens no less often that the established antivirus programs simply prevents the installer from creating new registry entries.
One more possible cause This phenomenon is the occurrence of damage in the IP parameters, as well as the lack of the necessary administrative rights that are required for the normal installation of such software.
What to do?
If everything worked fine for you before, then in this case, try to start by simply restarting the computer. If you reboot for any reason on this moment if you can't or don't want to, you can try a simple restart of the client. Reloading is a standard method that helps in some situations when there are minor failures, but if this did not work, then in this case go to the properties My computer, open Device Manager and select the item Network adapters. AT this section you should see if the Tunngle device works. Often problems appear already at this stage.
If a problem situation arises and the network adapter cannot be detected normally, try to completely remove the program client, reboot, install it again as an administrator, and reboot again. Now run TST.
There are also situations when the adapter is installed quite normally, and at the same time functions properly, as a result of which you already have to climb into the protection tools and force exclusions for various Tunngle executable files. If after the initial setup the problem was not solved, try to get into Extra options firewall, as in some cases a deeper configuration is required.
Do not forget that in order to carry out a normal installation of Tunngle, you need to provide administrative rights. If in your Windows profile they are missing, you will need to use the run as administrator function - for this you need to right-click on the installation file, and then select the item " Run as administratorยป.
If you find an empty adapter selection list when you try to check, you will need to check if your profile has access to the Application Data folder. If not, then the following procedure should be followed:
- Right-click on the folder with the Tunngle program and select the item Properties;
- Open a tab Safety;
- If the user System is not in the list, click Change, then Add and enter the word System in the field labeled Enter the names of the objects to select;
- Allow full access to different folders for a given user.
Now you need to do the procedure again full reinstallation Tunngle.
Perhaps not so often a problem, especially considering that few people even know what a tangle is. But hardcore gamers will understand. Especially if you are not bad at PC and are able to clean startup and services in your operating system yourself.
And so let's get down to business. If, at startup, tunngle takes an unusually long time to load, and eventually gives an error with code 4-102 and the message "Failed to find the service", then we immediately climb into the system configuration.
If you have windows 7, then in the start menu we are looking for execute, and there we execute msconfig. If you have win 10, then everything is a little simpler and we enter msconfig directly into the search on the taskbar.
Open the system configuration and go to the Services tab. We sort by Manufacturer and look for the TunngleService service. It probably won't have a checkmark next to it. Either you removed it yourself, or an antivirus could remove it, or some other situation occurred. In any case, check the box and click on OK.
We start the program. It should run without problems.
Second way
If the first method did not help you, then go to the task manager. You can open it by clicking right click on the taskbar.
In the manager, also select the services tab. Sort by Description and look for the same TunngleServices. His condition will be stopped. Just right-click on the service and run it.
There will be 2 options. Or it will start without problems and then the tangle itself will work. Or it will not start giving an error. In this case, you need to click on "Open Services" directly in the Task Manager.
A window will open with a list of services on your system. Already in this window, we look for TunngleServices by name and double-click to open it. Change the startup type of the service to Automatic. Click ONLY on "Apply". Then on Run and only then on OK. Close unnecessary windows and run the program.
Another reason
Another reason may be that this service simply does not exist on your system. This can happen if the program was installed incorrectly. Or even removed you or the antivirus. It could also be overwritten by another application. This problem can be solved by reinstalling Tunngle itself.
By the way, do not exclude the moment that you simply can have an increased level of system security. So, you may have to run the program as an administrator or give it all the rights necessary for correct operation.
At the beginning of the article, I attached a video in which I solve this problem in detail and with examples. So if in doubt, you can watch this video and do exactly as I tell. Good luck!
