Why three icons in "Network Connections" folder?
Question on the "Network Connections" folder.
I have two machines, set up essentially identically. The "Network Connections" folder on one of them contains only a single icon, "Local Area Connection". It is this icon that enables the Browser to operate. The "Network Connections" folder on the other machine contains three icons: 1) "Local Area Connection" 2) "Local Area Connection 2" 3) "1394 Connection" Of these three icons only the second, "Local Area Connection 2" seems to do anything. It is essential for 'Internet Explorer' and for 'Outlook Express'. The other two appear to do nothing. They connot be deleted, but they have been permanently Disabled. Can anybody tell me what the extra two icons are for, and how they should be treated? Don J -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

The 1394 connection is the 'Firewire' port. I would guess that machine has a
NIC as well as a wireless (firewire connection) of some kind. -- Was this post helpful to you? Then click the "Yes" button, below. Voting helps others who use the web interface. Mark L.
