One more thing to try that doesn't require uninstalling anything......

Right click on My Network Places and select Properties. There should be an
entry here for 1394 Connection. Right click on it and select Disable. Do
NOT select Uninstall. Since the 1394 card is still physically installed, XP
will just re-find it and reinstall the connection next time you restart.
You can network via firewire (though few people seem to)...... but I have
seen instances where the PC prioritizes the network connection over the
camcorder device. Reboot after the disabling of the 1394 network connection
and try once more to connect the camcorder.

Any better?
