    When you have the unit pluged in, make sure you set your Samsung camcorder to player mode. This is the only way Windows will pick it up and install the necessary drivers.

    This is how you can tell that the DV camcorder is working.

    Apparently I've overlooked one of TPFKAS suggestion about putting the camcoder in vcr-mode (same thing as player mode).

    Here's one thing you can check for me.

    Go to my network places, on the left side the window where it says network tasks, click view network connections.

    You should see 1394 Connection (1394 Net Adapter) in the screenshot listed below.

    [bold]Enable:[/bold]

    [bold]Disable:[/bold]

    The question. Is the 1394 Connection enable or disable? If it's disable, you will need to re-enable the device by right clicking it and choose enable. Try pluging the DV camcoder again and put it on vcr or player mode.

    Many thanks for trying to help I'm VERY grateful

    Nothing appears on my computer.
    My Network connections- 1 have 3 items

    1394 connection 2 connected-Just like your connected icon picture.

    Is connection 2 ok or should I rename it connection?

    local area connection connected

    Wireless network= not connected. I hope to set up soon!!

    I feel dumb since you mention that the 1394 connection is active. I'm just going to shut up now.

    :p

    Evertime I reread this thread you started back in October, I keep picking new things I miss. Right now I'm playing catchup and trying to retrace every step you took already. :p

    Another question maybe you can answer. How many firewire ports do you have on your computer?

    BlinkN- I am the DIM one I've been trying for so long!!

    I have just the one firewire port. I am very happy to start from scratch so that it does work in the end. Thanks again for your help!!

    I'm stomped but I do have another question. A real stupid question. Is the firewire cable connectors connected snugly from your DV camcoder to your PC? Didn't do the trick?

    Try renaming [bold]1394 connection 2[/bold] to [bold]1394 connection[/bold]. Probably won't do jack. Still stuck?

    Go to device manager. Look for IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers. Click the plus sign. You should see Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller or something similar. Right click it and choose uninstall. Click OK. Restart the computer. Windows will reinstall the IEEE 1394 device. Reconnect DV camcoder and set it to player mode.

    Device manager can be found by going to my computer on your desktop. Right click, properties. Go to Hardware tab. Click device manager button. This will bring up device manager. Follow step I have posted before you.

    Everything seems fine so far. Did you try pluging in the dv camcoder? You won't see that device through my computer until the camcoder is powered on.

    I've been working with tonypp all morning long and still couldn't get it to work. On top of it, you're facing the same problem. Strange none of the methods I suggestion have worked. I've pretty much run out of ideas. Have to think about this a little furthur.

    I'm not sure what else you can test with other then the older iPods that uses firewire.

    Another question. Where did you get the firewire cable from and what brand is it?
