Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to determine whether this is the case. Although interrupt sharing is allowed for PCI devices, some devices do not function well when they share an interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device. Try changing the IRQ that is assigned to the Ethernet adapter or the other device. v Reseat or replace the adapter.
