Hello,
I am trying to connect two PCs with firewire. There has been many posting
that I have read that have not resolved my issue.
I have two PCs (one with XP Home and the other with Pro) that I have
connected with a firewire cable. Both PCs recognize the connection but are
unable to see the other PCs information. I want to be able to transfer large
files on multiple occassions. Files and Setting Transfer Wizard will not work
- does not recognize the firewire port, only USB, COM ports or Infrared.
I am unable to ping each computer from the other using the IP address. On
the XP Pro computer, Simple File Sharing is enabled. The Guest account is
enabled, on each computer. On XP Pro, for the Local Security Policy, under
"Deny access to this computer from the network", Guest is not in the list.
Here is the information from ipconfig from both machines.

Both machines connect to the internet through a Comtrend ADSL wired/wireless
router. Main-Computer is wired and laptop is wireless (don't use the wired
connection). Main also has a dial-up connection.
The internet service is working on both Main and Laptop. If I connect Laptop
by Ethernet cable to the router, I still can not ping Main to Laptop, or
Laptop to Main (by address).
Help is greatly appreciated.
