Extra Network Connection

[Alex Francis]

I have an SIS internal Network Adapter on my Workstation to connect to the
Internet. I also have a Realtek Adapter for connection to my local network.
XP has found and installed another connection called a 1394 Net Adapter. I
have tried removing this but it just reinstalls. Can someone tell me what it
is and how to get rid of it. Because it is there, I need to bridge it with
my Realtek Adapter to get shared connection to the internet and I seem to
have problems with this.

It's a firewire port.
Used for connecting DV camcorders, disk drives,
or occasionally for networking.

The associated network connection will continue to
appear so long as the hardware is present and enabled.

Just ignore it.

Don't bridge it with the LAN card.
If the wizard did bridge it, delete the bridge.
There's no need to have the bridge present to use ICS.

I have now discovered that the 1394 Adapter is the Firewire Card for my
Camcorder. I tried disabling it in the Network Connections, but I still
can't connect to the internet from the client computer.
I tried running the Network Connection Wizard but is still wanted to install
a Network Bridge.

When I delete the bridge I cant get an Internet connection on my client
computers. I have Internet Sharing enabled.

Hello,

New Windows XP users might notice a new network device labeled 139
Connection on their system. This network device is actually you
FireWire card. Although most users use FireWire to connect video an
storage peripherals, Microsoft chose to list FireWire as a networ
device, which might confuse some users. Either you can ignore thi
connection, or you can disable it by right-clicking the connection fro
within Network Connections (from the Start menu, go to Settings
Network Connections) and selecting Disable
