NIC IRQ conflit

Go to the BIOS, next to PnP setting and turn PnP OFF . Try installing the card one more time

You might want to try some of the different setting values. Try different values for Interrupt, Memory Range, and I/O Range.

I remember having a problem with IRQ 10, which is typically reserved for your sound card.

NICs some times come pre-configured.

You need to know if yours is so you can determine the IRQ set for the card. Until you know this, you're likely to yank out your hair before you find out by switching some other card's IRQ number until the NICnegotiates you peace of mind.

Good luck.

use your setup diskette that should come with the nic. Set the irq to an available one. You can use windows to find an empty one.

If you don't know what the NIC is conflicting with, try removing the other cards one by one until the conflict goes away. Try removing the sound card first. Once you isolate the conflict you can try changing the IRQ's.

Hope this helps.

If you don't see any Resources it's because windows hasn't assigned any. Click on the Set Configuration Manually button to assign an IRQ

Double click on the MyComputer Icon at the top of the tree in Device Manager to sort devices by IRQ so you can determine which are free.

Good luck

check in device manager under other devices.
i once had an instance where the pci ethernet controller had to be updated with the same drivers as the nic. IF it is an ISA card they somtimes have jummpers to selct it for a plug and play and none plugand play O/S, select plug and play and if jummpers for IRQ avaliable for a knowen good non-conflicting IRQ.Is it a PCI or ISA card?
