In my Network Connections it has listing for
a
1394 Connection
and a
Network Bridge

What are they, and do I need them?
As both have a status of Disabled, Firewalled.


Please and thank you.

1394 = firewire connection
Network bridge you normally don't need except in rare
cases where you need to make a bridge between two
networks connected to your machine, suggest you delete
the bridge.

It has a LAN connection
and a bridge to which a wireless and a 1394 are connected.

when I looked in my advanced settings, my 1394 was not checked to be blocked. Should I check it? I am using a dsl linkup to my laptop. As right now, the Local Area Connection is checked to block only.
