Well this crossed my Mind, the only firewall on there is the SP2 one. I have another machine running Windows XP and that has a fire-wire, what I will do is a few tests such as Xp to XP, to try and rule out the problem. I did find it very odd that using the network Wizard on XP made it work but limited the speed to same speed as Cable modem (used a Bandwidth meter on each interface). The RJ45 network came in at about 70-80 which is correct (100mbit network) but as i say - max speed Fire-wire network came in at 2mbit - very odd indeed.
I have searched for a few days now on Google for guides, answers etc, tried pretty much everything I can think of ATM.
[update to my testing]
This is what I have tried so far then:
Xp to XP (both SP2)
XP to win2003
Other XP to 2003
Tried 3 different cables, in case it was the cable, switced off any Firewall in place, ran the Wizard on each machine. Also tried a few different ports on each computer (3 on each one) and removing the device, re-installing. I have a feeling it has something to do with XP SP2 tbh - As i mentioned it used to work a long time ago and all I did back then was set one port at 192.168.0.1 and the other at .2 and could then bring up the share by typing
\\192.168.0.2\d$ and trasfered 400mbit (or close to) no problems.
