Well, I think if u like hard work, that's the best way of doing it..

Or u can grab the NIC config software, and once u start it up, if u have
to cards that is conflicting it will tell u, that 2 cards are
conflicting, but then u have to go back to the procedure, of swapping
the card individualy to see which is which...

Are u using ISA or PCI cards (I would like to think that RTL8139 cards
are mostly PCI)

What u can do, is tell the bios that u don't have PnP software, and the
bios would automaticlly assign the IRQs...

But my best bet, do the NIC swapping one by one, then u'll see exactly
what's wrong..

Also while at it, make sure the NIC is inserted properly in the SLOT
