Hi,
I have two XP machines with ethernet connections and 1394 ports. I can
ping each machine from the other by using their ethernet IP addresses.
When I connect the 1394 cable between the two both get assigned a new
IP address on the 1394 ports starting with 169.245.x.x with subnet
masks 255.255.0.0. But I can't ping either machine using these new 169
ip addresses. When I remove the 1394 cable this assignment goes away
so it seems the 1394 ports work on both sides but there is no
communication using the same. Any ideas what I am missing ?

Thanks.

Those are the addresses you get when you have DHCP configured, but no server
is available. Try configuring the IP's by hand and see if that works.

Hope that helps,
