About LinkBacksI have two laptops with firewire, a suitable firewire cable, and some big files in need of transfer.
Since one laptop is equiped with only USB1.1, is there an app i can download or something that will let me transfer files accross speedy firewire?

Got XP? Plug them together, Firewire supports TCP/IP

Hmm, is there some sort of wizard or they just go for it just like that?
Sounds too good to be true
It works just the same as setting up a network card, in fact if you check you'll probably find half the work has already been done for you without your realising it.Originally Posted by Marcos

Just make sure TCP/IP and file sharing are enabled for the connection.

To be honest i dont know how to set up a normal wired network
There's a network setup wizard in XP - plug the comps together and run it... see if that works

I can never get this wizard right, always tries to push me into internet sharing, then doesnt let me choose the right devices etc
Argh, its just always so uncontrollable, i'll sometimes get it right and have absolutely no idea what i did to get it to work.
A bit like the wi-fi router set up, is there a program that just does it proper on its own. I have something near-perfect for USB but as mentioned USB is too slow
OK, plug them together, and go into network connections. for the 1394 connection go in and edit the TCP/IP settings - set IP to 192.168.0.2 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 on one machine and IP 192.168.0.3 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 on the other - that should get you started

Thanks,
but see, this is what annoys me, after the wizard and then after a couple of restarts it just starts working on its own, i'm still left without a clue on what i did right or wrong.
But its working, for now at least, very fast
