100Mps or 400Mps connection?

As you have spotted IEEE 1394 or firwire won't help you go faster.

BTW the bottleneck will be upstream from your router which will be ten times slower than your 100 Mb/s Ethernet.

Thanks for your answer to my question and your point to look closer at my connections certainly helped.
After checking on the XP knowledge base web site the 400Mbps connection that I referred to is a IEEE 1394 connection which appears to be for linking another computer to the Philips MT1800 (from PC world). I was really just try to get the fastest connection if you have any advise.
Thanks again

There is no such speed as mps so I am going to have to guess as to what is going on.

The 100 speed is 100 Mb/s which is the speed of 100 Mb/s Ethernet. Thast is the peed that your ethenet cable connect to your router.

54 Mb/s is the speed of an 802.11g Wireless card and so that would be the speed that your PC would connect if you connected to your router using wireless. (BTW those are raw bit speeds don't expect throughput of that nature - especially with 802.11g.)

I have no idea what may go at 400 mps and didn't know that Philips still made PCs - are you sure about either/both. I suggest that you have more careful look and come back with a NEW question.
