Re: aDSL Download problems I have a recent AWARD BIOS, but when I go into PnP/PCI configuration and set the resource controls to Manual, the only choices I have under IRQ assignments are to switch between PCI/ISA PnP or Legacy ISA. It doesn't allow me to assign a specific IRQ to a specific slot.
NoHoP, since you're using AWARD BIOS and the Kingston EtherRX NIC, how exactly did you manually assign the NIC to IRQ 5? I checked and IRQ 5 is free on my system... in BIOS -> Power Management -> Wake up events, I can see IRQ 5 is reserved for LPT2, but I will never use LPT2 so this is the perfect choice but I can't figure out how to assign it to the NIC. I'm reluctant to switch slots again after what happened to my CMOS last night, but if necessary there are still 2 more PCI slots I can try...
Thanks again. |

Anon | Ummm...so you have different version of the AWARD BIOS, it's unfortunate. One way to get around that is to manually changed IRQ assignment via Device Manager (still just with a video and a nic setup) and see whether ME allows you to do that...
How many IRQ's left after your computer is fully loaded with peripherals but without the NIC?

Not to butt in on this reply, but you should leave your NIC where it is and not try to change your IRQ settings. If you are not experiencing any problems then leave well enough alone.

He left his NIC where it was but that's where the whole mess got started or he won't be posting here for assistance!?
In other words, he does experience problems to begin with..

| Follow the bouncing ball. He said he can test clean now, but he still wants to change his IRQ. I was saying that if he can test clean now, don't change anything that could cause him to not test clean.
