Frank Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I just noticed this in my LAN properties, and I have no idea if I need it, or if I should get rid of it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/148959-deterministic-network-enhancer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
x3r0- Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I have nfi what it is If your that worried about it, remove it and see how you go without it. If it turns out something needs it then add it back again.

x3r0- Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 After a quick googling it appears to be an internet accelerator hope this helps Quote # The Deterministic Network Enhancer software accelerator that is included with the Starband 360 modem causes an error on a blue screen at startup.Until a compatible version is released, do not use this internet accelerator. For more information about this software, visit the following Starband Web site: http://www.starband.com/index.htm Taken from www.microsoft.com Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/148959-deterministic-network-enhancer/#findComment-1842854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the same thing on my PC. It's a driver that's used for windows CE / Pocket PC, handling Broadband load balancing, Quality of Service, and MANY other apps. There's a partial list on their websiste. I think mine came from setting up a VPN connection with SonicWall software. Or could have been my HP IPAQ Pocket PC. You said you were going to remove it -- Their website states, removing it without uninstalling it properly can cause network problems. Also says rootkit revealer incorrectly identifies some of their app as malware. I found a miniport driver software as a freeware download. http://www.soft32.com/Download/Free/Determ...4-170760-4.html With streaming applications for video, photo-sharing and bundled "security" from providers, all are trying to protect you from intrusion. It's a mess. Further, anti-spyware bundled with most toolbars, Google, AOL, Yahoo +++ many don't play nicely in the sandbox together. More is not always better. Trying to run two Anti-Virus apps at the same time, usually causes many problems. Each thinks the other is a breach. <sigh> If you removed it, have you had problems afterwards? Did any apps stop working? Thanks, hope this helps.
