1394 network card

santor -  
 Câblé -
Hello,
I would like to connect two PCs on a network. One has a network card, and the other one shows a 1394 network card in the device manager, but I don't see an RJ45 socket.
Can someone tell me what this card corresponds to?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE TO ALL
Santor

    It would rather be a FireWire port with your sound card or motherboard.
    Forget about creating a network with that; if your other PC doesn't have the same kind of hardware "1394 connection," you won't be able to create a network, sorry.

      What is the use of a network card that doesn't serve to build a network then (hence the name)! Moreover, it does have the TCP/IP protocol, right? So it still serves a purpose!
      My problem with this card is that I can't access the modems via their IP address, whereas it works with other Ether cards!

        It can only be used to create a point-to-point connection between 2 PCs, just like a crossover cable. Before gigabit network cards, it could have been an advantage, but it isn’t anymore, because you need a cable with 2 firewire plugs, which is quite hard to find. Gigabit Ethernet is simpler in terms of cabling.

    The 1394 network card is a card that allows, for example, connecting a digital camcorder to transfer films from the camcorder to the PC.

    No, it is not a laptop, and my PC, which has a real network card, also has another 1394 card in the manager?
    I tried to remove it, but it reinstalls automatically
    Thanks anyway

    Yeah, I was shocked to see that Firewire was set up as a network card in the Connections menu on Windows XP!!!
    Why not USB and the serial port too!??
    They are crazy at M$

      Hello there.
      Tell me, according to what you say, this so-called 1394 network connection is actually just a connection for video and others.

      If that's the case, should it be renamed?
      Why does it have IP/TCP protocol properties?

      Thank you for your advice and reassurance.
      See you later ts/1 1/ts

      I bought a Hercules brand card for video editing, with 3 Firewire ports, and when it was detected under XP Pro, it configured it as a network card even though I already have an ADSL connection via USB.
      Of course, I know how to disable it, but why was it configured as a network card?
      Additionally, sometimes when I restart my PC, it gets stuck on the Windows XP Pro page, and I can't access my computer unless I unplug it and restart (last known good configuration), but if I remove the Firewire card, I no longer have this problem.
      Who could help me with these issues, thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello, I have another problem. On my PC (server), I don't see my sister's PC, so I should normally have 3 network cards in network connections (one for the internet, one for the home network, and the other in my sister's PC for the network), but I don't see hers!
    If anyone could help me...
    Thank you.

    Hello, I also have XP detecting this Firewire port as a network card, and I cannot uninstall it. However, I am encountering connection issues; could this be the cause of the problem? If someone could enlighten me
    Thank you.

    Why do you want to remove the 1394 network card? Are you being stupid or what?

    You are too stupid or what? Why do you want to remove the 1394 network card? Are you not aware that you can transfer data through FireWire cards, just like through USB?
    See you later... And don't try to remove your IEEE 1394 card, or goodbye digital editing.

      Hello totof.......

      I have a problem creating a local network. I have 2 PCs with XP Pro, on both of them I have a 1394 network, and 2 network cards for Ethernet cable. I managed to create a local network on one, but it says the cable is not connected, and on the other one, I'm unable to do it; I only have a 1394 network.

      Can you help me please?
      Thanks

        Hello, I just read one of your messages from a few months ago. I also have a problem with my network card because XP is also telling me that the cable is not connected. How did you solve the problem? Thank you.

    I would say m^m better:
    IEEE 1394 is more akin to SCSI3.
    But removing it from network connections doesn't preclude its use for digital video.
    However, for networking too, why not, for a direct connection between 2 PCs (it's possible directly unlike USB because both interfaces are master and slave) you can reach an interesting speed of 400mbits/s in full duplex over 1m.

    And... there you go!

      As there is a connoisseur, I have a small question. Why only 2 PCs per IEEE 1394 and why not more through a hub (my question may be stupid but if I could have an answer...)
      Thank you in advance.

        Hi Eric,
        well yes, why not, we don't know much about this standard, but it's true that it would have been nice to operate in multipoint.
        but ... it probably wasn't planned that way from the start.

        and ... There you go!

    Gentlemen,
    cdiscount.com the cord for your 1394 firewire network card is 25 euros for 3m
    In full 380M very decent for gaming or video

    To uninstall it you won't be able to but you can disable it.
    No problem with other network connections it's through the same layer and access
    The guy who says he has a server with these three network cards that must cause more trouble than anything else. Buy yourself a hub, it will sound more professional when you talk about a server. And for a server, don't use XP. Maybe 2000 Pro, NT4.1 or better, Redhat Linux, a gem for dual processor servers.

    Hello,
    Can we really connect 2 PCs with one PC using a 1394 network card and my laptop also?
    Thank you for your answers. On the PC, I only have this network card, while on the laptop, I have this one plus another.

    Yes, you can connect two PCs via a 1394 connection; data transfer happens faster, and network games like C&C or others that are very bandwidth-intensive run better. As for my question: Are there hubs or routers for an IEEE 1394 network?

    Yes, I use it regularly between my two laptops: Theoretical transfer rate 400 Mbps compared to 10 or 100 over Ethernet

      Hello.
      I'm transferring a 700MB divx movie via 1394 in 2 minutes.
      Who can beat that? It's breathtaking.

    catalog PEARL (www.pearl.fr) :
    HUB Firewire 5 ports (ref PE8263 49.9 €)
    same in 6 ports 59.9 €

    but it must exist elsewhere too....

    Good luck

    I also have a problem with this pseudo network card that I don't have. It must be a firewire port. But as a result, I cannot create an internet connection; the connection wizard panel only allows for the use of a broadband connection supposedly managed by this card? The other options like configuring a connection manually with a standard modem cannot be checked.
    Yet the modem is correctly installed. If I go through Internet Explorer options, configuration, it returns the following message: Remote Access Connection Manager service error 711.
    Config: motherboard P4C800 Pro, graphics card ATI Radeon 9800, modem Elsa Fun 52K, Windows XP Home. Everything worked correctly for three weeks, then nothing.
    When trying to start the manager service, another error message: Unable to start the Remote Access Manager service on local computer, error 5: Access denied. (I am doing all these actions with administrator rights).
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    I have a new PC that I got not long ago, and I'm having trouble creating my local network. I think it’s also related to the 1394 connection issue, as it pops up every time...
    So, to summarize, I have one PC with internet connection, and 2 other PCs that I want to network together, but I’ve tried using the network connection wizard on all three PCs, and it never works. However, at some points, the network worked "halfway," meaning I had internet connectivity on all three, but the shared documents didn’t work, and then later nothing worked... In short, it’s a headache.
    Could someone please guide me on how to set up the network?
    Thanks in advance...
    Config: 1 PC running XP Pro / 1 PC running CP Home / 1 PC running ME
    Netgear 5-port RJ45 Switch FS605

    Error 711 corresponds to the RasMan initialization failure. Check the event log as it may help you. @+

    For all those wondering what the 1394 connection is, take a little tour here: http://www.commentcamarche.net/pc/firewire.php3

    You don't have to uninstall it from your PC, just leave it alone, it doesn't interfere with setting up a home network.

    To configure a network, you need:
    * a network card for each PC
    * a crossed RJ45 network cable if only 2 PCs
    * as many straight network cables if more than 2 PCs
    * a router or a hub/switch if more than 2 PCs
    * to configure the local network connection settings yourself
