Open up Device Manager and look at the properties for "Computer". Choose IRQ. If your network card is sharing IRQ with any other devices, you may have to move it to a different slot to get it on its own IRQ. It's generally a no-no putting a card in the first PCI slot (adjacent to the AGP slot) as it will share IRQ with the video card - every time. PCI IRQ sharing is possible - but some cards just don't play nice when shared. ISA will *never* share nicely with *anything*, you have to reserve its IRQ in the BIOS as a "legacy device".
