Weird Firewire Installation Problem

Hello -
I recently purchased a new firewire card and am having a very hard time
installing it in Windows XP. I have tried all of this in both SP1 and
SP2, with brand new installs of each, and the same exact issue exists
in each case.
The issue is that while the adapter is detected normally and there is
no error, there is no IP information assigned to the card, even if I
configure it manually.
When I try to run a Repair on the card I get the following message:
"Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following
action cannot be completed: TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection.
Cannot proceed."
IPConfig doesn't show the card at all.
For the curious people, all I'm trying to do is set up the firewire
card with a static address so I can connect it to another machine.
I've done this lots of times in the past but for some reason am having
issues now. I've also tried this on two different computers with the
same result. The one I'm working with right now is an IBM Netvista
S50.
Of course, TCP/IP -IS- enabled, I even configured it with a manual IP
address. I'm very technical and have tried all of the obvious steps.
Is there a trick I'm missing?
Thanks very much
