HI Colleen,
it seems to me Realtec RTL8139 family PCI Fast Ether NIC Packet Scheduler - miniport (Adapter subnet)is the name of your Ethernet card.
I googled it and found ONLY 1 entry:

After I shut down from my internet provider, I have noticed that "Realtec RTL8139 family PCI Fast Ether NIC Packet Scheduler - miniport (Adapter subnet)" shows up in Zone Alarms and is constantly there. This is not the name of my internet provider. I had made an attempt to remove this and was notified that by doing so I could/would damage some programs. Would this miniport be part of Realplayer which I tried once and then deleted.
As well, I have noticed that zone labs is "whispering/listening" to different TCP ports. Any idea what this would mean? I was of the understanding that once I shut down the internet all activities stopped.
Could someone please advise. Thanks ahead of time and hope to hear back.
