Recently reinstalled XP sp1 on this model notebook. In the device manager all components are working properly except the &quot;1394 net adapter&quot;. It is under the network adapter branck along with the internal CAT 3 adapter which is working fine.<br />
I know 1394 is a firewire port but is it meant to be in the network adapter area and if so why won't it start when there is a driver present?<br />
I've tried the HP site but i hit a snag when i discovered there are 4 types of this model - gc, gd, ge &amp;&nbsp;gf. I don't know what this is. I no longer have the documentation and nothing on the device indicates one or the other. Either way none of the models appeared to have the driver desired or assistance to this prob.<br />
<br />
The current driver is nic1394.sys

HP Omnibook XE3 - 1394 net adapter cannot start

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
