anyone have any idea what this is? my computer has been on for over 3 days and this connection has been on for less than a day and a half. the only thing i can connect it to could be my radeon aiw, but ive never seen it before. its showing a 30Mbps connection but no traffic.

EDIT: ok, so I got curious. I found this on Kodak's website:

***
Local Area Connection 2 Icon in View Network Connections

Problem/Symptom:

A Local Area Connection 2 icon appears in the View Network Connections section of My Network Places. The following information is displayed below the icon: Microsoft TV/Video Connection.

Resolution:

This behavior is by design. To work around it, restart the computer. After you restart, the icon will not appear.

I have an HP digicam, so I assume the cause is the same.

after i rebooted it went away too. i thought it my be my webcam, but i disconnected it after reading that MLB camera thread :). i guess it could be because of the tv tuner :shrug:
