Can I link my two laptops using IEEE 1394 (Firewire)​?

Hi,
I have a X31 and a X60 laptop. Both are running on Windows XP Pro and both have IEEE 1394 (firewire) ports.
I seem to read it somewhere that I can do a network link between two laptops via the firewire ports.
However, it does not work for me after linking them with a firewire cable.
Am I missing something?

Am I missing something?
You have to configure the IPs on the both side as with any other network adapters.
Alternatively you can set the internet sharing to the  fireware adaper, on one side only so the pc with internet shared will acts as DHCP server and the other will atutomagically configure itself with a correct IP.

  • How can I link my two sites?

    How can I link my two sites?

    What do you mean by link?  You can add a text based hyperlink in Site A to Site B and do the same in Site B. 
    Or you can add a totally blank page to Site A and name it Site B.  Then add the following code to an HTML snippet:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "URL TO SITE YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO"; </script>
    Thanks to Cyclosaurus for this code
    The Site B link will appear in the navbar of Site A and, when selected, will immediated redirect the visitor to Site B.  Create a similar page in Site B pointing back to Site A.

  • Resource Allocation for IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Cameras in Triggered Mode

    In this article:
    Resource Allocation for IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Cameras in Triggered Mode
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/ED092614FCCC900D86256D8D004A3B0C
     it says "The Bytes Per Packet value represents the number of bytes that are transmitted at consistent 125us intervals on the FireWire bus during image acquisition" and the reciprocal of the 125us value would seem to be the source of a value of 8000 in a subsequent formula used to calculate the frames per second.
    Is this 125us value independent from the firewire bus speed or a function of it?
    If it is a function of bus speed, how does it vary with speed?
    (Is the 125us value for 400Mbps and 250us for 200Mbps?)
    Thanks!

    Hello Warren
    Thank you very much for getting in touch with us.  Although the Firewire standard itself is not technically supported by National Instruments, I will do my best to assist you.  I am currently referencing the IEEE 1394 documentation.  From what I'm reading, I do not believe the 125 microsecond value changes.  I have copied and pasted the paragraph of interest under Bus Arbitration from a document that I referenced:
    The arbitration mechanism gets more complicated when isochronous devices are connected on the bus, because those devices have already been guaranteed bandwidth.  Each arbitration round is approximately 125μs long, so bandwidth is allocated as a portion of the 125μs interval.  The root node broadcasts (sends a message to node 63, the broadcast address) a cycle start packet, which begins the arbitration round.    All interested nodes send an arbitration request as before, and the winning node is still the node closest to the root.  After .04μs of bus idle time, the remaining nodes arbitrate for control of the bus.  Once each isochronous node has completed its transaction the time remaining in the 125μs interval is used for asynchronous transactions.  Up to 80% of the bus bandwidth may be allocated to isochronous transactions and the remaining 20% is left available for asynchronous transactions.
    The original document can be found here:
    The FireWire Serial Bus and its Implementation
    I, unfortunately, cannot claim to be an expert on the IEEE 1394 standard but from what I've researched, the 125 microsecond time allocation is standard and bandwidth is then allocated accordingly.  I may recommend consulting IEEE 1394 Trade Association (http://www.1394ta.org/about/Contact.html) for more in depth information.  Please let me know if this is sufficient or if I can be of further assistance.  I will do everything I can to ensure that your issues is resolved.
    Have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    Greg S.

  • IEEE 1394/Firewire port not seeing DV

    Hey All,
    New to this forum, but looking for some help.
    I have read just about EVERY previous topic regarding the 1394 issues and cannot find a solution to my problem.
    I CAN see the 1394 setting in CMOS, and it is set to "AUTO".  Also, in the Device Manager, I can see "IEEE 1394 Controller" with no IRQ conflicts.  I have updated all of my MSI drivers as well as CMOS up to current.  I have installed the DV drivers that came on my Camcorder's CD as well as programs that are designed to utilize the DV out on the camcorder.  Also, I have reconnected my two 1394 ports on the motherboard in every configuration to check if it was a connection problem.  Tomorrow, I'm gonna go get another cable, but doubt that's it; it's brand new.
    I plug in my Digital Camcorder (Canon ZR85) and there is nothing.  Windows makes no notice of it, and when I run the program designed to utilize it, it says that it is not connected.  I have followed the owner's manual to a 'T' for setting it up.
    Here's my info:
    Athlon XP2400
    512 MB RAM
    120Gig drive (SATA)
    Windows XP Pro (SP1a)
    Canon ZR85 MiniDV
    4 pin to 4 pin IEEE 1394 Firewire cable
    (This MiniDV Camcorder will only connect DV via 1394, not USB 2.0)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Saint

    So... seeing that no one responded to my initial request for information to solve this problem and I was not able to find any other helpful forums out there, I decided to do the prudent thing and buy a new motherboard/cpu, etc.
    I bought what was supposed to be a top-line mboard, the K8N Neo Platinum with an AMD 3000+ chip, 512 PC3200 Crucial memory, 200 gig SATA HD, and 3dForce 6800.  What I have come to figure out is that my brand new MSI mboard has the EXACT DAMN PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I vowed years ago not to buy another MSI because of previous failures, but I was convinced that they were really producing quality boards now.  Yet again, however, I guess I was fooled.
    IF anyone has ANY help they could provide for this problem, I would be incredibly grateful.  Otherwise, I'll have to take this mboard back, and I will NOT EVER buy another MSI product, and will be sure to tell everyone else the same thing.
    Desperately,
    Saint Raj

  • My macbook's mini displayport is actually a IEEE-1394 Firewire port..

    I jut got a mini displayport to DGA cable today and pluged in to my macbook but no signal to the external monitor.
    I took a good look at the side of the macbook, and the mini displayport (supposed to be) has a mark of IEEE-1394 Firewire simble on top of the port.
    left next to this port has a monitor simble but it is a different shape (got a longer tung).
    Can any one tell me what is wrong?
    By serching the web, they all say (and all look like) the one I pluged in is the mini displayport.
    I'm panicking....

  • HP HDX X18T eSATA - IEEE 1394 Firewire SPECS

    I'm having trouble finding the specs for the eSATA and the IEEE 1394 Firewire.  I'm looking for an external hard drive that has one or both of these connections.  Some have a selection of Firewire 400 or 800 and the specs list it as  IEEE 1394 Firewire.  Granted that my laptop is from 2009, but it is a workhorse.  
    I have several Iomega esata desktop drives, but I'm looking to a portable one.
    Thanks for your help,

    It is definitely firewire 400 and the eSATA is going to be SATA I speed. What else did you need help with?

  • T61p - IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port does not show up in device manager in Windows 7 x64

    I have a T61p.  On the front, in the left corner, right next to the wireless on/off switch, is a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port.  However, if I plug anything into it, it's not recognized by Windows, and if I go into the device manager in Windows, there is no IEEE 1394 host manager or ports or anything listed there.
    I have rebooted and gone into the BIOS, and I don't see anything in there about 1394 either.  Is the port there, but the hardwire inside is missing?  Do I need to enable it somehow?

    Let me clarify that.  I have something in the device manager called "SD Host Adapters", and under that "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller".  That thing has a Microsoft driver.
    However, under "IDE ATA/ATAPI contollers", I do see "Ricoh Memory Stick Contoller", "Ricoh SD/MMC Host Contoller", and "Ricoh xD-Picture Card Contoller".
    I also have "PCMCIA adapters" that has "Ricoh R/RL/5C476(II) or Compatible CardBus Contoller".
    So, it would seem I have the right drivers for the card reader, I'm just missing anything for the IEEE 1394 contoller...

  • How do I sync one iPhone with two laptops using iTunes (not iCloud)?

    I just got a new iPhone 4S and want to sync it with two separate laptops (using the simple cable procedure, not iCloud) -- my old(er) MacBook Pro2.2 15", with Intel Core 2 Duo running System 10.5.8, and my new MacBook Pro with Intel Core i7 running Lion.
    I tried this once before and got chaos -- syncing on the second laptop gave me multiple entries in my calendar and address book. I don't want to go through this again until I know the right procedure, if there is one.

    When you get your new laptop repaired, transfer your iTunes library & other important data to your new computer. When you first sync your phone to this computer, all iTunes content will be erased from your phone. However since you've copied your iTunes library to your new computer, just sync the content back to your phone.

  • Unsyncing two laptops using the same gmail account

    Hi,
    I am transferring all data to my Macbook Pro from my old macbook
    I set up gmail on the new Macbook Pro and it was immediately Synced across from the old to the new laptop. GREAT! But unfortunately NOT great!!
    I now cannot do anything without it affecting the gmail on BOTH machines.
    I need to remove ALL the emails etc from the old machine Before I sell it and I can't without it taking out everything on the NEW laptop as well.
    So How do I UNSYNC them?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi again,
    Sorry I thought it had worked! I removed both me gmail accounts as you instructed and then then went in and tested it again but unfortunately its still removing from both accounts on the two laptops.
    So I went into Firefox browser Sync setting and Unsynced any devices I had synced removed all google cookies and logged out an in again but when I delete on my old macbook gmail it still removes it from the gmail account in the new one as well. So the UNSYNC function on Macbook Pro and on Firefox doesn't seem to be working as it should
    Any other things I should do?
    Thanks again

  • P30: External HD isn't detected when using IEEE 1394 cable

    My P30 won't/ can't detect my newly aquired Western Digitak Extreme Lighted Drive 320GB when I connect it via the firewire port. I use a 6 pin to 4 pin cable (which cost a fortune, by the way) that is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a pc.
    My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called "VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".
    Can anyone tell me what to do? I really need to connect this drive by firewire because I need the USBs for other devices.
    Thank you!

    This may sound like an obvious problem, but is the drive:
    1. Set to Master on the jumpers?
    2. Formatted?
    If the drive is not set to master, the computer will not recognise it using 1394. And if it is set to master, but it has not yet been formatted, the computer will register that something using 1394 is connected, but will not know what to do. To format you right click on My Computer, and select manage.

  • Must use IEEE 1394?

    I'm looking at purchasing a Panasonic HDC-SD90K hi def camcorder.  It does not have an IEEE 1394 connector; it has a USB 2 connector.  In reading the online material for Premiere Elements 10, I came across the following:
    "HDV camcorder: Connect your HDV camcorder to your computer’s IEEE 1394 port using an IEEE 1394 cable. You cannot capture HDV using USB ports."
    Does this mean I cannot buy this camcorder, or I cannot use Premier Elements 10?
    (My iMac has IEEE1394 "Firewire" ports and USB 2 ports.)

    By the way, this camcorder shoots in 1920x1080 at 60p by default -- which is not supported by this program and, if you try to edit it in this program, you'll likely have lots of issues.
    If you plan to edit your video in Premiere Elements, but sure to shoot in 1080 60i only.
    And, when you start up your Premiere Elements project, be sure to select the settings for Full AVCHD 1920x1080 5.1 audio.

  • Difference between Firewire Cable IEEE 1394-Firewire IEEE 1394a-IEEE 1394b

    I want to buy a 6 ft firewire cable 800 9-pin/9-pin to connect my Macbook Pro to an extrernal HD (G-Technology mini 500 GB)
    I'm not sure what all the different IEEE #'s mean- IEEE 1394, IEEE 1394a, IEEE 1394b
    Various reviews state not to buy cable that is all plastic at end since it breaks off. Some cables do not make good connection and fall out while others malfunction quickly.
    I have MacBook Pro(13 inch), Snow Leopard installed, OS X 10.6.2, 2.53. GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Any suggestions which brand firewire I should buy with which IEEE?
    Thanks

    On the back of your G-drive you're likely to see the label firewire 800, I believe that is what that drive uses. So does your MBP.
    What you need is a firewire 1394b cable 9-pin to 9-pin, if you're worried about the brand you might try Cables-to-go, they sell good cable.
    http://www.cablestogo.com/productlist.asp?catid=612
    1394a is for the 400Mbps standard and the 1394b is for the 800Mbps standard.
    The firewire that is on your MBP is 1394b and it's backward compatible to 1394a devices. If you ever need to connect a device that is for 1394a (400Mbps) then you'll need a cable that is 9-pin on one end and 6 or 4-pin on the other, which ever of the two the device uses.
