I installed a Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Lan Card in order to connect a DSL modem, and after installing it, my Samsung DVD drive stop working. I ended up replacing the DVD drive. The modem worked fine. Any reason why that occured? I have taken out the Lan Card to ensure that it does not interfare with my new DVDs. But I want to reinstall it.

Linksys Etherfast Lan Card Installation Hangup.

you have irq errors.. basically that means the the dvd drive is having the same irq as that of your lan card.. try this install the card on another slot.. do that until you exhausted all the available pci slots.. if that does not work.. contact your mainboard manufacturer to set manual irq on the devices..
