hello,

I have a laptop running windows xp and a mini-tower
running windows 2000. both are equipped with a IEEE 1394
port. Is it possible to connect them through the FireWire?
I read that it's ok for two xp's...

thank you in advance

Its certainly possible, as XP can assign IP addresses to 1394 cards
and get them to communicate like a LAN card.
