Do I need deterministic network enhancer?

[Gepost]

Some program installed this protocol and now my network cards are showing up twice in TCP/IP properties. I did a search and have not found much about it. Anyone know about it and if it is really necessary?

Ethernet is not inherently deterministic. I can't think of a way, other than a highly precise coordinated clock running all the transmit queues that could make it so.

I'm betting it's a virus (or something close enough to a virus to qualify).

IMHO, lose it. ASAP.

FWIW

I've seen DNE's get installed by things like VPN software, and sniffer (packet capture) utilities.
Might wanna double-check your installed applications and services before removing the DNE.

Or you could just remove it, and see what breaks. That might be the fastest way to figure out what it is

The old Cisco VPN DNE (Yellow lock) will break miracast on a wireless adapter. You have to uncheck the DNE on the NIC properties to get miracast working in Windows 8.1

I found updating with the Citrix DNE fixes the problem http://www.citrix.com/go/lp/dne.html

Dude, this thread is from 2002 - necro does not begin to cover it. 12 years has got to be some kind of record.

I posted to this thread because it was a top ranked search result when I was trying to figure out the problem.

It will be an issue for others because cheap companies refuse to replace the legacy cisco VPN. It never even supported 64bit OS 100% and has been out of support since at best 2011, yet 70% of our clients (manufacturing) are still running it.
