Firewire problem

[irse]

I was trying to download a video from my camcorder which uses firewire. The computer would not recognize the camcorder. It wouldn't even make a sound when it got connected. I have two firewire ports so I used both of them and nothing happened. I also have a firewire CF card reader. It works on both ports. So I take my camcorder to work and it works fine with the firewire port. Anybody have an idea what the problem could be? Thanks

Did you install the camcorder's software and drivers?

I do not need the drivers and yes I did use their software. I have connected the camcorder to the home computer many times in the past two years and never connected it to the work computer, ever. I don't remember ever having to install drivers for it in my home computer. I am using XP pro both at home and at work.

Attach the cam at home and run the hardware install wizard.
