    Could it be that the hub supports the big firewire cable and his laptop, like most laptops, uses mini-firewire?

    I don't really know, of course. Just a guess.

    Yes, I have a short attention span...I didn't see your post before mine sorry :p

    Anyways, to the OP:
    Are you sure that the FireWire connection is not on the USB-hub itself? So you plug the USB-end of the cable into your notebook, then you plug the FireWire-end of the cable into the hub?

    I have this HUB sitting on my desk and there is no firewire port on it.
    The uplink port to the PC is just a miniature plug and it comes with a miniature plug to a (standard) A plug cable.
