Do i really need this?


Recommended Posts

OK I have SBC Yahoo DSL in the Detroit area and i have two things installed for my network connection that i want to know stuff about. No i am not using any of their connection software (Enternet) just straight up MS broadband connection.

---Service : Deterministic Network Enhancer

---Service: QoS Packet Scheduler

1. what do they do

2. do i need to have them installed

Thanks in advanced

QoS doesn't make any difference if you keep it or remove it..so keep it just in case you'll use software that support QoS.

QoS is "Quality of Service". it can optionally reserve some bandwidth when QoS-aware applications request it.

i don't have "Deterministic Network Enhancer" so i don't know wtf it is.

bah, qos isn't needed, ditch it, if, for some strange reason something needs it, install it again

and i'm with mxx on the second one

Ditching QOS will make NO difference to your system. Only apps that need it use if.

But the 2nd one is lost on me

Deterministic Network Enhancer seems to be associated with dialup/dsl

you might need that one

seems specific to VPN (as almost all the google results have something to do with dialup/dsl and vpn)

hes right... it isnt needed on a workstation using the web... you can disable/remove it ...

I would leave the 2nd one... dont know what it is. My buddy has DSL and has that one on his as well...
