hi Robert,

I know you are very busy, but have you had any ideas to
help me get this fixed?
Thanks

thanks, Robert L.

yes, that's exactly right. it's not possible to ping
(request timed out) or nslookup (can't find server name
for...), or use ANY internet-related application when a
1394 device is installed.

with a firewire (IEEE 1394) device installed, it seems
like the data stream from the modem is blocked or cut off
somehow. the modem is ok; the physical connection to the
isp is there. it's just that no applications on the
computer can access the internet.

in troubleshooting, i have disabled (from device manager)
the network bridge and lan. i have also disabled the
icf. nothing helps.

the only thing i have been able to find is the "wan
miniport (ip)" fails diagnostics if a firewire device is
installed.

as an aside, it bothers me that xp sees any 1394 device as
a "network component". i suspect this is somehow related
to the problems.

what can i do next? i would dearly love to get the
firewire devices working properly.

sounds like dns issue. compare the results of ping yahoo.com and nslookup
command before and after firewall enabled.

Sorry for the delay. I may come to this group once per day.

I need more information from you. could you post ipconfig /all while enaling
the firewall?

Hi Robert,
Hey no problem. I was up last night (LATE last night
LOL), and finally figured out what was happening.
It was either the McAfee firewall or virus scanner...I
uninstalled both and everything works fine now.
Thanks again
