"Virtual PC Emulator Ethernet Switch" installed for my NIC. This was
installed by some of Visual Studio's embedded tools, which after uninstalling,
the problem went away. Thanks for pointing me in the right
direction!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This can happen when running a software VPN product
like Checkpoint's Secure Remote. In fact newer versions of Secure Remote
eliminate packets rather than duplicate them (that's really bad!). If
you're running any kind of network filter or driver that operates at a low
level, it may be affecting Winpcap's packet capturing mechanism.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is related to my last question, which was
answered VERY well, thank you all!</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am consistently seeing duplicate packets several
microseconds apart. These are always packets being sent by my PC (the
one running winPcap). So, I have traffic between the PC and our own
device in development. It is a client/server protocol. The PC
sends a request, and our device sends a response. However, what I'm
seeing is that the PC sends two packets, which is 100% identical (including
the IP identification field, and TCP sequence numbers). I highly doubt
that both are really making it onto the wire, in the same way that the bogus
TCP checksums apparently never made it on the wire.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone seen this? Does anyone have a
theory for why it happens?</FONT> </P>
