I am trying set-up a direct connection between my desktop PC (Windows XP Pro) and my HTPC (Windows XP MCE 2005) via firewire (1394 Connection). However, the "1394 Connection" that is suppose to automatically appear in the Network Connection folder if you have firewire ports is not there for my desktop PC. But it is there for my HTPC.
My desktop is base on the popular DFI LANPARTY UT nForce4 Ultra-D motherboard and I have enabled the 1394 support in the BIOS. A "1394 Net Adapter" is listed under the device menu as working. And the firewire port works when I connect an external HDD to it.
Any idea on how do I go about in getting the 1394 Connection to appear in the Network Connection folder? Or getting Windows to automatically create one?
I'd tried disabling then enabling 1394 support in the BIOS, and I'd tried uninstalling the 1394 Net Adapter from the device menu and let Windows reinstall it on reboot. None of these methods have work.
