The 1394 connection is the Firewire adapter in the PC. It is used to connect cameras, external hard drives and such. Technically it is a networking adapter, which is why it appears in Network Connections. Do not try to delete it, it's not harming anything and has nothing to do with the Local Area Connection, which is used for networking the PCs together. Also, leave the 1394 Connection properties alone, since you are networking using the ethernet adapter.
If you are having trouble with the other PCs seeing the WinXP system, check to make sure Internet Connection Firewall is not enabled. It is located on the Advanced tab of the Local Area Connection properties.
