The Ethernet
controller
stopped
working
when
another
adapter was
added to the
server.
Check the following:
• Make sure that the cable is
connected to the Ethernet controller.
• Make sure that the PCI system BIOS
is current.
• Reseat the adapter.
• Determine if the interrupt (IRQ)
setting assigned to the Ethernet
adapter is also assigned to another
device in the Configuration/Setup
Utility program.
Although interrupt sharing is allowed
for PCI devices, some devices do not
function well when they share an
interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device.
Try changing the IRQ assigned to the
Ethernet adapter or the other device.

apparent
cause.
Check the following:
