network settings

Was using a home network and now have changed to a direct connection.

Should I remove Client for Microsoft Networks.

As well:

network components; or does it complete this by doing the above?

IE: the NDIS 1394 Adapter and TCP/IP

thanks

As long as your computer is not expected to attach to shared resources on
other computers you won't need it. In that case deleting it won't hurt;
especially since you can always add it again if the need comes up.

I don't know what part the 1394 adapter plays in the scheme of things on
your computer. It has something to do with Firewire, so you might take that
into consideration; I don't have it. TCP/IP is the heart of Internet packet
transfer. Remove it and you kill your Internet access. Leave it be.

If you remove Client for Microsoft Networks:

1. It would remove Network Neighborhood from the desktop.

2. Your computer would lose the ability to remember passwords for
dial-up Internet connections.

There's no need to remove it. You can decide based on those factors.

The 1394 adapter is there because your computer has a FireWire port.
If you remove it the 1394 adapter, Windows Me will automatically
re-install it when you reboot. To avoid that, you'd have to disable
the 1394 adapter in Device Manager or disable the FireWire port in the
BIOS setup.

There's no need to remove it.
