• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Panasonic Firewire ports

I use a 4 pin to 4 pin and it works just fine without my camcorder on outlet power.

One thing you need to seriously look at is if the metal in the port on the camera is not loose or coming out. I was having similar problems and it ruined my firewire port (for the time) because the metal came out (and sorry I'm not being more technical here other than metal :p). What I did was just take it to my local camera repairman who got it fixed up for me. Just figured I'd air that possibility since no one else has mentioned it, hope it isn't the case though :)
 
Well Provantage sent the wrong cable (6-4) but this one doesn't work in my camera either.

So I'm hoping that it's either the PCMCIA card as I really don't want to repair my camera.
 
It's def the Firewire port; tried it on a different pc and got the same result. USB works fine though.

God this sucks...didn't even have it a week and it's broken.
