Where are you seeing this? Tell us *exactly* what you see. Use the actual

words describing the connections, not your approximation of them. If you

are seeing more than one entry in Local Area Connections, right-click on

each one and see what its Properties are. Include that information in your

post.

You have several Local Area Connections because you have several devices

that allow you to make a network connection. One of these devices is a

Globespan Virata USB modem. This is apparently what you are using to get to

the Internet. The Intel entry is for your ethernet network adapter. Leave

these things alone and find something else to worry about. ;-)

Actually, it isn't and Malke does post spam and you can't prove otherwise.
