You don't have anything (and won't have anything connected to the 1394 firewire port http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/I/IEEE_1394.html ). You are using the ethernet connection. The 100 figure you are seeing is the speed of the of the NIC and is Mbps which is a lot faster than your cable connection. Your cable connection will be measured in Kbps.

You can go to www.pcpitstop.com and run their bandwidth test to get a measure of your download speed.
