Firewire: no IEEE 1394 network adapter

I have a Lenovo 3000 N200 (vista) laptop with firewire port.
Whenever I plug in any device through this port, nothing happens. No drive, nothing.
I noticed that the OHCI driver is active, but there is no "IEEE Network" adapter. It used to be when I had XP at least. I cannot make it a way to install that thing in vista. I think that's the problem,
Can anyone suggest me a way of installing the 1394 Network adapter?
I want to connect my miniDV cam..
thanks

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.

K8N Neo2 Plat - WinXP SP2 IEEE 1394 Problem???

I use the k8n Neo2 Platinum with a Athlon 64 3500+ cpu
I installed WinXP with SP1 an everything was and worked ok (there was a VIA OHCI IEEE 1394 Compilant Controller and a IEEE 1394 net adapter)
When I upgraded to WinXP SP2 there was no IEEE 1394 net adapter any more, but the controller in the Device Manager was ok. Sometimes thought if i uninstall the controller an do a check for new hardware changes the controller appears with a Code 10 error, but when WinXP starts no problem appears in the Device Manager...????
Please help i need the Firewire connection to plug my VideoCamera.
If there is any driver for the IEEE 1394 please email or PM me the url.
thanx Nick
PS. If i arrange the devices by connection type no IRQ conflict seems to exists.
Sorry for the "english" but i'm from greece.
Please help....

I manage to make the IEEE 1394 Net adapter appear.
I changed every file that is about ieee1394 of SP2 with the SP1 files but before i restart i renamed sp2.cab (into hidden folder) file because if any change happens it restores the original files on restart. Now both IEEE1394 Controller and Net Adapter appear into the Device Manager but when i connect any device into firewire port is not recognized. I tried my camcoder to another pc with WinXP SP2 and when i connect it a ballon appears and sain that a Digital Device is connected. To my PC nothing happens.

I am using IMovie 11 with a new iMac. Unable to import video from a Panasonic PV-GS400 mini-DV camcorder using a Firewire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter which is then connected to a Thunderbolt to Firewire 800 adapter.

How can I get iMovie to recognize my Panasonic PV-GS400 as a device so I can import video to my iMac? I have a FireWire IEEE 1394 400 cable connected to the camcorder. Since my new iMac has only Thunderbolt ports, I purchased a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter to connect to the cable. I also purchased a FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter to connect to the computer. My camcarder is still not recognized.

I would suggest that you try a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable along with the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter.
Those Firewire 400 to 800 adapters do not seem to work well with iMovie.
The 9 pin to 4 pin cables are available at reasonable prices here, for example.

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.

Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor. 6-pin IEEE 1394 firewire for video transfer

Will the Apple Thunderbolt to firewire adaptor work with a IEEE 1394 6-pin firewire for video transfers?

You'll need a Firewire 800 (9-pin) to Firewire 400 (6-pin) adapter or cable, but yes, it should then work.
Regards.

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....

Glad I could help. Here's the EveryMac page on your MacBook if it's a White 2.1Ghz. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/stats/macbook-core-2-duo-2.1-white -13-early-2008-penryn-specs.html

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...

Solaris 10 x86 Firewire (IEEE 1394) camera frame grabbing

How do you do frame (sequence) grabbing from Firewire (IEEE 1394) camera on Solaris 10 x86? What API can I use?
XIL documentation doesn't seem to mention Firewire cameras specifically. And I tried to compile Linux libdc1394 on Solaris 10 x86, but got errors.
Thank you.

Hello Mark,

Firewire IEEE 1394: Capture Card vs. On-Board Motherboard

I should know the answer to my question, but I don't...really. To capture video in my current computer, I had to install a video capture card with an IEEE 1394 Port. It is my understanding that there are motherboards that have "on-board" IEEE 1394 Firewire. If I purchase such a motherboard, does that mean I will not need a video capture card? In the specs of motherboards they will give the number of available IEEE 1394 Rear Panel Ports. Do these ports connect to "on-board" firewire and can they be used to capture video? Please set me straight. Thanks.

I agree with Neale. One consideration is the number of controller chips you have on either the MoBo connections, or your card.
Why is that important? Especially with Capture from a camera, it is always best to ONLY have the camera hooked to a separate controller chip. Some MoBo's and cards, might have multiple connectors, but they may all feed through a single chip. That might well preclude having any other FW device hooked to any of the other connections. Sometimes, it's tough to tell the number of IEEE-1394 chips, unless one has a good schematic of the board/card and the various chips are shown.
If one uses other FW devices, then the chip count will likely matter. While I have 4 MoBo connectors w/ 2x chips, I also have a multi-chip 4x connector card, plus a multi-chip 6x FW-1394b (FW-800) card.
The two things that you wish to avoid is daisy-chaining ANY camera, and connecting a camera to any shared chip. If I had a card already, and did not need to include it with the old computer, and had a spare slot on the MoBo, I'd install it too, but then I usually have 4-6 FW-800 externals, plus maybe 4 FW-400 externals, and still have empty chips available for my camera.
Good luck,
Hunt

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have searched for other issues in this forum regarding the mentioned PCMCIA IEEE 1394 adapter. It seems that people do experience troubles using it. Is there one adapter that is better than another? Should I change something in the setup of my T60? Simply, will it chrash?

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.
