-Tried plugging it in while powered off, problems still occur.

-Installed sp2, still no change.

In the past, I've had both ports with devices, (both functioned at the same time, without issues) and nothing like this has ever happened. I checked device manager, didn't find any exclamation marks. I did notice both my network adapter and this HP firewire adapter are on the same IRQ (9). That sounds like a red flag to me, but you'd think it'd pop up as a conflict, it doesn't. No other resources are shared. The option to change the IRQs is grayed out. Ideas?
