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 trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394
connection. 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 your compati-
ble i.LINK device for information on operating conditions and proper connection. Before
connecting compatible i.LINK PC peripherals to your system, such as CD-RW or hard disk
drive, confirm their operating system compatibility and required operating conditions.
✍The computers may not recognize an i.LINK connection after returning from a power
saving mode (Standby or Hibernate). If that happens, restart both computers to
establish a connection.
