ok..my comp came with 2 1394 net adapter 'thingies'. Are these do-dars which allow me to use the net remotely (provided i have the right modem).

if so..does it affect ping? i'd like to play bf2 etc and obviously dont want a high ping due to these thingies.

ta in advance.

no - they are firewire jobbies, and won't be of any real use.

Get an ethernet card, or use a USB modem
