3 LAN Connections ???

[Derek]

I'm fairly new to this and would appreciate some guidance...

I have a cable modem attached to the PC by an ethernet card. Nothing else
such as routers etc.

I checked my network settings and I appear to have 3 connections:

1. Name: 1394 Connection 2 Type: LAN or High Speed Internet Status:
Connected Device Name: 1394 Net Adapter #4

2. Name: 1394 Connection 2 Type: LAN or High Speed Internet Status:
Connected Device Name: 1394 Net Adapter #3

3. Name: Local Area Connection Type: LAN or High Speed Internet Status:
Connected Device Name: Realtek RTL8169/8100 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC

Should I have three, is this OK or should I be deleting some ?

TIA
Derek

That looks normal to me, from what i can see you only have 1 LAN
connection, the 1394 Connections are there so that Windows can use
TCP/IP over a firewire connection.

Firewire.

Delete them, they'll come back. May be why you have "1394 Net Adapter #3"
and "1394 Net Adapter #4" now - you deleted them at one time.
If you don't use firewire, you can go into your network properties and
disable those two. No reason to delete them though - since you have
firewire I assume.

Thank you all for the information.
