Both PCI cards, right? And an Adaptec SCSI card I'll wager. Pull out the NIC, and boot. Shutdown, insert the NIC, and boot. The BIOS should assign a different IRQ to the NIC. I had this exact problem recently with a 2940 and a Netgear FA-310TX. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
