Accessing my iPod through firewire?

[fixxxer0]

I have a Gigabyte K8NXP SLI mobo, which has both 1334a and b (the 800mb). I know my ipod only supports the 400mbs but regardless..... When i plug it into the port that i have running from the motherboard on it lights up my ipod, but nothing goes on on my computer. How do I access it or let it be seen?? I can get it to work if i use the firewire port on my SB Audigy card but I was just curious why I cant see anything over the other connection. Did I hook something up wrong?

Do tyou have any software for the ipod running?

tried it both ways..... when i plug into the audigy firewire port i hear the little windows chime and itunes opens up....

i get nothing but the light on in the other port

are you sure the ports on your motherboard are enabled?

Most likely it's picky about the FW controller chip. I've seen Agere chips in recent Macs.
