Hi.
I have an Asus A7V333 mobo with a firewire card which is plugged into socket
on the board, not PCI.
the card is enabled and is shown under XP Pro to be there and enabled. i am
trying to connect a DV camera
through the card and cant get it to connect or for the pc to even realise it
is there. have tried several programs
but it just isnt recognised.
is there something obvious i am missing here ?
thanks for any help

If it's also showing under Network Adapters in the Device Manager, right
click on it under this section and select Disable. XP sees it as a
networking adapter first, then a controller through which you can connect
other devices. Disabling it under Network Adapters will not change its
'normal' entry as a IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controller.

Remember that the camcorder must be turned ON and in VCR mode for Windows to
'see' it and recognize it. Make and model camcorder would be useful.....
some are particularly difficult to get Windows to see.

Thanks for that - have disabled it in Device manager as you suggest - it
still wont connect though.
the camera is a JVC DVL9000 - having a look at the help sites now.
thanks for your time.

No good - nothing on that site relating to not being able to connect.
thanks anyway - might go and get a pci firewire card and try that
but windows is showing the port as working just getting naff all
from it - unfortunately i dont have anything else firewire to try in it.
cheers
