Found the issue, it seems that there is another driver “possibly” the MS loopback (although disabled) that is using the same MAC address of VirtNet. Because of this, it is sending things twice – don’t ask me why and how?!
But changing the VirtNet MAC address fixed the issue.

If anyone know how to find how that other driver (and which one) is causing all these anomalies, please share.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but it seems that the same driver VirtNet works great on XP. It sends UDP messages out without doubling. I understand this is a loop back driver thus sending to same IP will go all the way down to driver instead of local (127.0.0.1). But when I send from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.5 it should not loopback, just fack an attempt to send it out (this is how it works on XP). But for some reason, only on 2000, it sends this twice. I checked routing tables and they seem fine.

Any protocol component I have to remove from the settings?

Thanks
