    You are really refering to IEEE 1394, commonly known as FireWire or i.Link.

    1394? Interesting that it's in Network Connections. Typically, it means a firewire port.

    EDIT: I'm an idiot. Firewire can be used for ad-hoc (computer to computer) connections. Either Windows is set to allow that or else there's a separate program allowing it. Not worth paying attention to unless you need to connect to a nearby computer with a fast rate of data transfer.
