Re: Installation Problems..please help..it's URGENT!

Per,

You say in some of your other posts that you cannot change the IRQ's of the
SCSI controllers. You should still be able to change the IRQ of the network
card. If that is what you did to get linux working, but then have to change
it back for Win95/NT etc., Try this. Change it to the appropriate IRQ for
Linux. Then delete all references to it and all drivers for it from
Win95/NT. Then let them re-discover the card (or even add it in manually)
with the new IRQ setting. All systems should be able to use the new IRQ.
