Yes, look for a CD for your motherboard (that should have been given to you at the purchase). In it you should find the drivers you need. However it is strange than in a Dell it is not all configured properly automatically. Maybe you have reinstalled the OS? >Also he said that some motherboards have shared PCI IRQ slots so maybe >moving the board may help? Also this is true. Many times slot 1 or 2 (and sometimes 3) is sharing IRQ with the AGP board, but as I said in the precedent post this should not be a problem if you have the drivers above mentioned. Try to install them firstly (as it should resolve your problems asap) if it doesn't work then move your NIC on the fourth (to be sure, since it should share IRQ with an LPT port and this doesn't cause problems many times) or third slot. This problem often occours with Sound Blaster Live! cards. However one of the two solutions (or the two combined) should resolve your problem; if it is not so let me know and we will look at it a little further. Sincerely, Fabio.
