what does the 1394 driver control? I have a Compaq SP700 workstation (Xeon 550) and I keep getting a splat in device manager under network controllers, i try and un-install it then re-install and I get the same splat, the workstation will not connect to the network no matter what, i even tried to go into CMOs and disable it and installed a PCI ethernet card to try and get around it..it will still not remove the splat, and reloads upon every system restart, any ideas???

1394 should be a "Fire-Wire" port.

This is USBs big brother.

If the port is part of a plug in card with other devices on it, you may have no option but to install the driver.

If the port is on the motherboard, you should be able to disable the port in BIOS settings.

Is this a sound blaster audigy problem? If it is don't install the 1394 drivers for the port unless you're planning on using it. It doe scause network problems otherwise big time.
