1394 Network connection

[lipo]

Does Win2K have a driver or patch to enable a 1394 network connection like WinXP? I want to connect 2 computers thru their fire ports.

you could try using the winXP patch on your win2k machine. often times they work on XP, as well as 2K

Win2k supports firewire -

Yes wolluf, but 2k doesn't support TCP/IP over Firewire. There are a couple of companies selling software to do this, but I havent seen any freeware drivers yet.
Yet another thing on the Microsoft "must do (never)" list...how long would it take to re-compile the driver for 2k and release it-30 seconds tops!!

I do not know of any TCP/IP firewire patch for XP. The system comes with support built in.

Ok Jocsta, I'll try reading the whole post in future.
