Local Area Connection 3...

[MiseryQ]

I did a clean install of Xp yesterday...

Something I installed between then and now gave me another LAN connection:

Microsoft TV/Video Connection
C for MN
F &PSfMN
TCP/IP

Are all in there...
Ipconfig /all shows it using:

Dhcp
Autoconfiguration is enabled
ip is 4.0.xx.xx
sub net 255.255.255.255

What is this mystery Program?!?

and what stops working if you disable the lan connection?

 

[MiseryQ]

Have'nt tried it...
But it did hide my LAN1 and create a LAN2 for my network...

VMWARE maybe?
make a screenshot of add/remove programs

silly

it's for webcam or digital camera, or video card with tv capabilities.

it didn't list with for my radeon vivo, or my logitech webcam, but it finally put it there for my digital camera.

 

[MiseryQ]

Why would a webcam,digital camera, or video card, need a dedicated ip address?!?

 

[redsolar]

nope

...

ya got me, but it does. unplug your camera, etc and you'll see it go away. plug it back in and it comes back.

Hmmm... I actually forgot about it...
I just checked dand it IS NOT there...
Pluged in both my webcam and digital camera... It did not show back up...

That was payback for Earthlink on KONG.

I have the same thing myself.

I think its something to do with my Win TV card.

You cant disable it either.

Very alarming!
