DSL-NIC-IRQ problems...

[Joshie the CK]

Okay.. I finally got the DSL working on the old network card, but I'm having trouble setting up the second card to interface with the network...
For some reason both cards seem to be trying to use the same IRQ.. I think.. Even though the BIOS has them set to different IRQs...

When I boot up...
Eth0 [ok]
eth1 [failed]

And it says something about putting off starting the interface 'till later... My mid just blanked...

Anyway, my family is going to kill me if I don't get this DSL thing set up soon, as they are currently without an internet connection... Not good...

Thanks!

Have you tried turning off PnP in the BIOS and are the 2 nics PCI or ISA?

If at least eth1 is ISA, you can run the dos configuration utility that usually is included on the driver diskette or downloadable and turn off PnP for the card and manually change the IRQ and IO so not to conflict with other hardware in your system.
