Re: I need some help with my dsl please. I had this exact same problem on one of my four machines, and after reading this post I fixed it by moving the network card to a different PCI slot.
The weird thing is that I had already tried this, so this time I moved it to yet another slot and it finally worked.
Try moving your network card to another slot. If it doesn't work try another. Keep trying new PCI slots, as this will almost surely fix the problem.
My Device Manager still shows that ACPI IRQ Steering and the network card as sharing IRQ 11 as they always have, but moving to this particular slot solved the problem immediately. There must be some other hidden sharing going on with the other slots I tried.
Other than becoming a master of IRQ sharing on the particular motherboard you are using, the simplest solution is to just keep trying different slots. Your problem will most likely disappear immediately at some point. |
