A method for diagnosing an IEEE 1394 home network device ( 6, 7 ) from remote is proposed. The communication between a remote testing device ( 2 ) and the IEEE 1394 home network device ( 6, 7 ) is split into two parts: between the remote testing device ( 2 ) and a gateway ( 4 ) of the home network ( 5 ) preferably TCP/IP is used as communication protocol. Inside the home network ( 5 ), i. e. between the gateway ( 4 ) and the IEEE 1394 home network device ( 6, 7 ), an IEEE 1394 low level communication protocol is used. As this IEEE 1394 low level communication protocol is common to all home network protocols employed by IEEE 1394 home network devices ( 6, 7 ), this communication method is independent of the home network protocol used by the IEEE 1394 home network devices ( 6, 7 ).
