Firewire no longer recognized - tried to repair, but tells me no TCP/IP installed

[Guest David D]

On my laptop, using XP prof., my firewire is no longer recognized. So

I go into the connection for the 1394, under support and hit REPAIR.

It then gives me this error :

 

Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following

action could not be complete :

TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection. Cannot proceed.

 

For assistance, contact the person that manages your network.

 

There are checkmarks beside the TCP/IP, so I don't get it. If I

UNCHECK the TCP/IP connection, it asks for a disk for the drivers or

something.

 

Any ideas?

 

PS _ I have already disabled the connection and removed the IEEE94

Bus hot controller from the device manager and rebooted - this did not

fix the problem.

I should also mention - the firewire is the INTERNAL 4pin port for the

laptop. Interestly enough, I also have a PCMIA firewire card (6pin)

that recognizes the camera right away, it is just the INTERNAL 4pin.

Also, tried the 4pin cable and camera on another laptop, and it works

fine - so the cable and the camera seem to be working ok.

A couple of thoughts spring to mind:

 

1. The firewire port has become faulty in some way, and the installer is

unable to complete its function because it can't fully communicate.

 

2. TCP/IP seems to be a right royal pain in the arse. For some reason it

seems to disconnect itself (software wise) from one some or all network

ports for no adequately explored reason. A system restore to before the

point where it stopped usually fixes the problem, but it is rarely a

permanent solution. On my machine, it is the bluetooth port that seems to

keep becoming disconnected (and I'm not convinced that TCP/IP is anything to

do with bluetooth - but I could be wrong).

Re: Firewire no longer recognized - tried to repair, but tells me no TCP/IP installed

 

I am going to try and find a system restore point, Iam hoping HP has

something in its software that will help me. Everything I have tried

doesn't seem to be working at all...
