Hi,

I have just installed 'Teredo for MacOS X':

http://www.deepdarc.com/2007/02/21/miredo-osx/

This installs a system preferences panel for configuring
the tunnel. Does anyone know whether this be made to
act as a 'network port' in the 'Network' systems
preferences? If so how?

Unfortunately, the network system preferences pane is not extensible. It only supports the interface types it is hard coded to handle. You will need a separate system preference pane for configuring the teredo service. I believe that if a service entry is created in the dynamic store, the interface will show up in the system preferences pane but it will not be editable. You will probably also want some sort of tool that acts as a configuration agent for the teredo interface to apply changes to the settings and update the dynamic store state entries for the teredo interface.

Paralles does it, if I understand what you want!? An network interface?

Sorry If I misinterpret port.. not too firm with the technical terms here

If Parallels creates an interface that looks like Ethernet, it will appear in the network preferences pane. It will also let you set all of the settings you could set for an ethernet interface. Those settings don't make any sense for a teredo interface. Don't make your interface look like ethernet just to get it to show up in system preferences.
