after pnp installs my sony dv cam on the integrated
firewire port, i lose connectivity to the internet.

the modem dials out ok and makes a physical connection,
but no programs can see the internet. for example, IE6
gives a "Page cannot be displayed" error, other programs
give "server not found" or "dns errors".

installing a firewire card does the same thing.

i have removed the network bridge - no help.

i have to restore the system prior to 1394 device
installation to get the internet back.

any ideas appreciated.
