A couple of definitions that my clear up some confusion:
1394 - as in IEEE 1394, it's what PC's call Firewire, it's the number assigned to the protocol to ensure compatibility and basic function requirements. 1394 is capable of linking multiple computers together and therefore if your motherboard has Firewire it shows up in your available connections whether you're using it or not.
Bridged - This was a Microsoft idea that if you ask me was a REALLY bad one. The idea is to take multiple hardware adapters and link through a virtual "software" adapter, bridging is usually a very bad idea and disabling it would be the first option in my book, it isolates a lot of networking problems in my experience and the monitoring of multiple networking capabilities can create problems.
