Hi Loris The easiest way to do anything with firewire is probably when you simply connect 2 XP's with a FireWire cable. Then just make sure that on both XP's the IP protocol for FireWire is enabled. After that you can do any normal IP traffic the same way you would do it with Ethernet. (Ping, FTP, Telnet, ....)
Unfortunatly you can not do any IP traffic with a standalone XP. XP checks if there is any other node on the FireWire net which can do IP1394. If it doesn't detect any other node, it will not do any traffic over FireWire (not even any broadcasts). Note: FireWire is using an 8 Byte MAC address (EUI64). Ethernet only has a 6 Byte MAC address. Can WinPCap handle an 8 Byte MAC addresses ? Have a nice day Markus -----Original Message----- From: Denis Bujoreanu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Freitag, 20. September 2002 09:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WinPcap-users] IP1394 reboot under Windows XP I also encountered something strange about networking with FireWire ports on WinXP, namely if an ethernet adapter and a firewire adapter are coupled together in a bridged adapter (or something like that) the networking ceases to function, no more IP conectivity no nothing. I don't believe it's a WinPcap bug, it looks like it is a NDIS bug if working with firewire adapters. I know NDIS 5 introduces an intermediate driver layer in the NDIS binding stack to support devices like ATM, USB or IEEE1394. Could this be the problem? So far I don't know of any ATM interface cards for NDIS, perhaps there are but haven't seen nor worked with them yet.
