Windows Xp | 1394 Net Adapter Driver

Last updated: May 2026 – for Windows XP Professional, Home Edition, and Media Center Edition.

The 1394 Net Adapter uses a protocol called or, more formally, the IP over 1394 standard (RFC 2734). This allows two Windows XP computers connected via a standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable to see each other on a network just like Ethernet. In theory, FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) offers 400 Mbps, and FireWire 800 (1394b) offers 800 Mbps—both faster than the standard 100 Mbps Ethernet of the XP era. 1394 net adapter driver windows xp
