Have I Fried My Firewire? Options

[dijerydack]

Hello There.
I was attempting to link a couple of macs with firewire to transer some files. I blatantly didn't know what I was doing and I couldnt get it to work. The problem is that my M-Audio Firewire 410 which was working wonderfully is now not recognised. It is still drawing power from the fw port as the blue light is flashing but it jsut wont recognise. Have I fried the ports or do they just need reseting or something?

(im using a graphite crt imac 600mhz 512mb)

FireWire target disk mode allows a Macintosh computer with a FireWire port (the target computer) to be used as an external hard disk connected to another computer (the host). Once a target computer is started up as a FireWire hard disk and is available to the host computer, you can copy files to or from that volume.


To use FireWire target disk mode
Make sure that the target computer is turned off. If you are using a PowerBook computer or iBook computer as the target computer, you should also plug in its AC power adapter.
Use a FireWire cable (6-pin to 6-pin) to connect the target computer to a host computer. The host computer does not need to be turned off.
Start up the target computer and immediately press and hold down the T key until the FireWire icon appears. The hard disk of the target computer should become available to the host computer and will likely appear on desktop.
When you are finished copying files, drag the target computer's hard disk icon to the Trash or select Put Away from the File menu (Mac OS 9) or Eject from the File menu (Mac OS X).
Press the target computer's power button to turn it off.
Unplug the FireWire cable.
