Onboard LAN crapping out my 2940UW
This is a discussion about Onboard LAN crapping out my 2940UW in the Windows Hardware category; I have searched these boards (& others) for help, but so far have come up short. If there is a similar thread somewhere on these boards, please point me to it for help! I have a ECS P6STMT mobo (only has 3 PCI slots, no AGP) that refuses to acknowledge my SCSI card if I enable the onboard NIC (SiS 900).

I have a ECS P6STMT mobo (only has 3 PCI slots, no AGP) that refuses to acknowledge my SCSI card if I enable the onboard NIC (SiS 900).
If I enable the NIC, it shares IRQ 11 with the SCSI card. This also causes the 2940UW to disappear from the boot process (option to CTRL+A for SCSI util doesn't even exist). Disabling the NIC makes everything good, & the SCSI card comes alive.
This is what I have tried so far, without success:
> Moved the 2940UW to either of the other 2 free PCI slots
> Disabled other devices (onboard sound, game/midi port, modem, serial ports, etc)
> There is no provision to disable ACPI
> Fooled around in BIOS for over an hour forcing IRQ's from PnP to Legacy/ISA, but am not real sure if that was even related to my problem
I can't try using any other plug-in NIC's, since I don't have any handy (I'm not at home )

Are you running the most recent Bios issued for your Board?
OP
Yeah, latest BIOS for mobo & SCSI card. I finally got to try a plug in NIC & the problem disappeared. The onboard NIC looks like it is not going to play nice. Oh well...
