Audigy to firewire card network??

[Pilsnerpete]

has anyone done this? I have an Audigy w/1394 in one of my machines and no firewire or ethernet in it's big brother. I'm wondering if I should get a cheap firewire card to network the 2. I wonder can I use the Firenet program on the audigy driver disk for the link (wouldn't a EULA-free world be nice?) Then again, I'll probly get dsl sometime, so EVENTUALLY I'll need a true NIC, right? Thanks for your thoughts.

Use NIC's, their cheap and that's what their made for. A fire wire connection dose not work like a network connection would(in terms of file sharing and whatnot).

you can do it, depends on the OS... you can run tcpip over firewire, but.... why? Cheap NICs are under $10 each, and a crossover cable is about $5...

btw, XP has built in support for tcpip over firewire.
