What is FireNet that came with the Soundblaser Audigy ?

[jaytone]

I just upgraded my computer to the Soundblaster Audigy card. There is an icon on the desktop to insall FireNEt which I have not installed.
I am currently runnng XP Pro along with a Cable Modem and NIC card that is configured for my Cable Modem. I also use a SMC Router so that my two computers can share my cable modem

From the description of FireNet, it says it Ethenet emulator and provides high network speed and is able to coexist with Eternet Intrastructures.

Anyway, should I install this based on my configuration above ?

FireNet turns your FireWire port into an Ethernet adapter of sorts: it allows you to network two computers with a FireWire cable. Unless you plan on doing this (which based on your setup I doubt), do as ausm said and don't waste the hard drive space.

Err, XP has built in FireWire networking...
FireNet doesn't co-exist well. I learned that the hard way :|
Stupid Creative and their bloatware! FireNet won't even let me get rid of it!
