What is a 1394 Net Adaptor Connection and why does it appear in my WinXP Network Connections?
That’s WinXP’s way of telling you that you have an IEEE 1394 interface installed in your system. IEEE 1394 is more commonly known as Firewire and can be used to network two Firewire-equipped systems together, in addition to its ability to connect to peripherals such as digital cameras, camcorders, and external hard drives. Since Firewire has a 15ft cable length limitation, its networking uses are limited to quick system-to-system connections for file transfer purposes, running at speeds between 12.5 to 50Mbps.
