Here is my problem:
On my laptop, using XP prof., my firewire is no longer recognized. So
I go into the network connection for the 1394, under support and hit REPAIR.
It then gives me this error :

Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following
action could not be complete :
TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection. Cannot proceed.

For assistance, contact the person that manages your network.

There are checkmarks beside the TCP/IP, so I don't get it. If I
UNCHECK the TCP/IP connection, it asks for a disk for the drivers or
something.

Any ideas?

I should also mention - the firewire is the INTERNAL 4pin port for the
laptop. Interestly enough, I also have a PCMIA firewire card (6pin
firewire input) that recognizes the camera right away, the issue is
with the INTERNAL 4pin firewire input on the laptop.
Also, tried the 4pin cable and camera on another laptop, and it works
fine - so the cable and the camera seem to be working ok.

PS _ I have already disabled the connection and removed the IEEE94
Bus hot controller from the device manager and rebooted - this did not
fix the problem.
