Airtel Broadband: IRQ Conflict between LAN card and Firewire Card!

[Amuthan]

Hello Techoz, I'd require some help from you guyz... Recently I bought a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) card to transfer Videos from my DV Cam to my PC. I have an Intel 865GBF Motherboard where there are about 6 PCI slots. I have my LAN card (Realtek NIC) connected on the second slot and my Firewire card on the last one. The problem is my LAN card has been disabled by Windows XP and in Device Manager it shows Realtek and IEEE 1394 Network Adapter. But in Network connections Airtel's LAN says "Media Disconnected!". I got the right IP's DNS's etc. from the Airtel CC. I even tried switching the sides of my RJ-45 Cable. Right now, I'm using the USB interface which I'm not satisfied with!Here are some details:1.OS: Windows XP Professional2. ADSL Modem: Beetel 220BX3. LAN: Realtek 81394. Firewire: Tech-Com Firewire card5. Error code: 769I'd like to know if there is a way such that both the Firewire and LAN card can work at the same time? Did anyone face such a problem like this? How to rectify this one? I'm not dare enough to change my IRQ settings in my BIOS. Plz... help me guyz..

Things you try out:1. Uninstall both and try different PCI slots on the motherboard. 2. Update bios.3. Buy a more expensive firewire card. Cheap ones are prone to IRQ conflicts.
