Firewire NetworkI have a 6 to 4 pin IEEE 1394 cable I'm trying to use in connecting a
laptop and a pc both with XP. The connection shows as being connected(in the system tray) and everything, but in Network places there is no sign of the other computer. Any help in troubleshooting? Thanks In article <1155012354.560111.60***@m79g2000cwm.googlegroups.com>,

I removed File & Printer Sharing and Client for Microsoft Networks... does this affect the ping query?

In fact it ties your hands, be removing the
capability of both computers to share files. On the other hand you can still install and use another way to share files like: FTP, HTTP, or a custom 3rd party client. If you want to use File and Printer Sharing however, you must go back to network properties, install and enable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing.

I want to use it as a backup station with
apache, ftp and mysql backup software, so I just need a simple TCP/IP network... Still, the network connects but doesn't send or receive anything and the ping time-outs. Right now I'm looking for a sniffer for FW and so far I have found only a demo that captures just the first command, which is Reset. I want to know what the commands are and if the boards comunicate properly or at least to know that the packets that are send and received at the connection mean something. I also tried to donwgrade the 1394 Bus Device Driver and the 1394 OpenHCI Port Driver to SP1 as suggested by a FW card manufacturer, however it didn't do me any good! Sadly, I have one of those crappy DFI's and I don't know if the Southbridge, FW controller or some other circuit is malfunctioning... so far the PS/2's are buggy, one USB hub died last week, the southbridge gets extremely hot and I often experience lockups... tomorrow the new board arrives...

The fan on my ATI AIW-9600XT started making a lot of noise. I can`t afford being without my PC for a week, so I don`t use the warranty services. I simply unplugged the power of the fan. Now the copper radiator is hot, but the system is stable and noise-free. "George Valkov" wrote: No... the Apache is on Windows.

I also attached 2 thick alu blades from burned out pws in the heatsink of the southbridge. It's cooler now but the curious part is that other NF2 mbs don't even have a heatsink there... take a look at an ABIT NF7 which is one of the best Socket A mbs: http://www.hothardware.com/reviews/images/lanparty_an7/an7/motherboard.jpg This is my DFI (http://www.dfi.com.tw/): ttp://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/asus_a7n8x_versus_dfi_lanparty/images/01.JPG It comes with a lot of accessories but it's not worth it! http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/dfinfiiultrab/2.html I'll try to further downgrade the drivers to see if those manufacturers where right... but I doubt that!
