ieee 1394 kills network connection

[Joe]

Hello,
I am running a home network on an ethernet card through a
router to a cable modem. It works fine, however...

I just bought an IEEE 1394 card. When I install it it
installs properly, but my network connection instantly
drops off. It does not install any kind of bridge. And
it is set to obtain DNS an IP automatically. When I
restart my computer it says that TCP/IP is not installed.

I have been messing with it all day and I have been able
to get a ping to the web in 'ipconfig'. However, the only
way I have been able to get IE to get to the internet
again is to use "system restore" and go back to a good
config.

I am totally lost and other posts are not helping.

Thank you in advance,
Joe

I don't think that the IEEE 1394 card is properly installed, given the
network problems that you report. Un-install and re-install it.
Check Device Manager for problems such as resource conflicts.

If you don't plan to use the IEEE 1394 card for networking, open the
Network Connections folder and right-click and disable the 1394
connection. The card will still work for connecting to a peripheral
such as a digital camera, external hard drive, etc.

I went to the Firewire card's support site and they said
to give a .old extension to "net1394.inf"
and "net1394.pnf" This worked for the card. I no longer
get the message "The TCP/Ip network transport is not
installed." However, when I turn on my camera a lot of
drivers are loaded and eventually my network drops
anyway. And I get the message again.

I loooked into conflicts with my dlink DFE-530TX network
card and XP does not see any.

Do I need a newer network card? The drivers are provided
by XP.

Thanks again.

You're welcome. I don't think that replacing the D-Link network card
would help. If you're not using the IEEE 1394 card for networking, I
strongly recommend right-clicking and disabling the 1394 network
connection.

That's about all that I can suggest, other than contacting the
Firewire card's manufacturer for help.
