A Windows XP-based computer is not detected by IEEE 1394 devices that use the HANA specification (923404)

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You connect a device to a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer by using an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Inc. (IEEE) 1394 (FireWire) connection.
The device uses the High Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA) specification.

In this scenario, the connected IEEE 1394 device does not recognize the computer. For example, a connected TV that uses the HANA specification shows other connected IEEE 1394-based devices on the screen. However, the connected Windows XP-based computer is not listed.
