- well you can have as many connections as the pc can take, as long as everything is working fine, dont worry. to me it seems like everything is okay.
- You should have one actual LAN connection. The others can be anything like your bluetooth, Firewire 1394 port(I've seen this on many computers) or even a built in wireless card. As long as the one with the IP address is the LAN card, your fine.
- You can have as many as connection as you have.. basically it is related to your hardware device. if you have 2 lan card then you can have 2 lan connection. you probly have one onboard lancard, an extra lan card and a wireless one!!
- you may have a lot of lan connections in 1 computer.every lan has it's own ip address value when you do an ipconfig. eg. you have ethernet adapter,wireless adapter,usb & bluetooth installed on the computer,when you do an ip config,you would get several ip address assigned to the adapter(if it is active)
