1394 is your Firewire connection on the computer. For some reason Microsoft
decided to enable it as a network connection as a default. Most people use it to
connect their digital camcorders or external harddrives to their computer, so
you don't need it activated as a network device.

I disabled it on my machine.

Thank you . Got it ....
