network woes:

Since an answer to your problem's been posted, I'm not citing your
original. I suggest that you might be better off getting a powered ethernet
hub or router (if the computers are separated) or just connecting them with
an ethernet cable for your network (if the computers are close together),
vice using FW which is primarily designed for driving peripherals
<http://developer.apple.com/devicedrivers/firewire/index.html>. That'll
eliminate the FW problems and give you better network performance,
especially if your internet connection is cable/dsl, which normally feed
ethernet from their modems. See
