I swear I *have* done this before, but out of curiosity I just tried, and couldn't get it to work.
if both machines are running WinXP and have any FireWire controller (embedded on motherboard or a separate PCI card), you should see "1394 Net Adapter" in your Device Manager and "1394 Connection" when you get Properties of My Network Places.
the functionality is natively supported by the OS. there's a TCP stack and File and Printer Sharing enabled there...
I don't want to reboot this machine to see if that needs it, so I'll try with the second and third machines later. This really has me stewing... !!?!?
