Packet duplication is usually caused by the virtual NIC drivers of vmware (or 
in any case their networking virtualization layer). I've seen this kind of 
problems with vmware workstation, but I've never used vCenter (which I believe 
is just a management tool for a cloud of VMs using VMware server or something 
similar).

vCenter 4.0.0
After some digging, I don't believe the problem is with the VMWare, but rather 
with vista.
I have installed the same vista image on a physical machine, and still see 
packet duplication.

Since it's only got Service Pack 1 installed, I'm now installing Service Pack 2 
and will check whether the problem persists.

  I'm trying to figure out a setup issue and would appreciate any help.
  I have a vista virtual machine and a program that injects packet to the 
network using winpcap.
  Every injected packet is duplicated, where the second packet is the exact 
copy of the original packet but only the IP's checksum and TTL are changed (TTL 
decreased by one).
  For example, if I inject an ICMP echo request using winpcap, the target 
machine actually gets two requests.

  The duplication happens on the vista machine - I've validated this by using 
wireshark.

  Any ideas of what can cause such an issue?

  Thanks
