Does the device manager display this as a conflict, because it is quite normal for items to share IRQ lines (there's only 16 of them, and it's quite normal these days for some to get re-used).
I have 3 devices quite happily sharing my IRQ11 line, so unless device manager is telling you there is a conflict (with a little yellow ! icon-I think), it should not be a problem.

Hi guys!

I also have that hardware resource conflict. May be you can provide help.

My PCI devices (Accton Ethernet Card, Conexant Modem and SoundBlaster Live Sound Card including Nvidia TnT 64mb and USB controller) are all under IRQ11. It all happened when I made a clean install from WinMe to Win2000. I have used all the latest device drivers. I even first install the latest intel inf utility before proceeding with the rest of my PCI devices.

The computer I am using is an IBM Netvista 6832-KJQ with a 1.5GHz 850 Processor, 128MB RDRAM, 20GB HD, etc. that has resource hardware conflicts.

If compared to the computer I am using at the office, IBM Netvista 6792-11A with a 1.6GHz Processor, 128MB RAM, 30GB HD, etc, and comes with a pre-installed Win2000 and has NO hardware resource conflict.

The only difference I have noticed was the 6792 is under ACPI Uniprocessor PC while the 6832 is under ACPI HAL.

My problem is: What IRQ will I designate after I configured 6832 to a standard PC?

Accton Ehternet = IRQ??
Conexant Modem = IRQ??
SBLive = IRQ??
Video Card = IRQ??

Hope you guys can help me here. In anyway, thank you for taking time reading my case.
