Troubleshooting i.LINK devices

I cannot establish a connection between two VAIO computers

when using an i.LINK cable.

1Disconnect the i.LINK®* cable from both computers and reconnect it.
2Wait for the computers to respond. If neither computer responds after a few
moments, restart both computers.
* i.LINK is a Sony trademark used only to designate that a product contains an IE EE 1394 con-
nection. The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, oper ating
system, and compatible i.LINK devices. All products with an i.LINK connection may not
communicate with each other. Refer to the documentation that came with you r compatible
i.LINK device for information on operating conditions and proper connection. Befo re con-
necting compatible i.LINK PC peripherals t o your system, such as a CD-RW or h ard disk
drive, confirm their operating system compatibility and required operating conditi ons.
✍The computers may not recognize an i.LINK connection after returning from a power
saving mode (Standby or Hibernate). If that happens, restart the computers to
establish a connection.
