Looks like i stumped them, And got left with the port is dead answer i know there's gotta be some Registery Editing or something i can do to fix this.

A Shameless bump and Recap of problem...

Port is not dead... Windows can find port...

Strange Odditys (Works fine in Device manager)
The Connections vanished from My network places + Firewire port (And by connections i meen Icons and Everything)
Port internet is on works fine.
Light lites up on the second port.
Windows Task Manager shows a small bit of Network activity spikes+ that the port is functioning fine.

Tested the cable.. the connection to other pc's...
Running No firewall, no AV,
