Just a guess. I don't see the interrupts for the serial ports in /proc/interrupts, so I would guess they are not in use. In the BIOS, knock out COM2 (DISABLE the On-BOARD DEVICE) I think your modem, if it is internal, was taking the interrupt your eth0 card grabbed. Leave interrupt 3 open by disabling the on-board COM2 and things might work better. Then again they might not The alternative is to search the mailing list archives for the proper use of a program called isapnpdump. Go to the (searchable) archives and check both newbie and expert with a search key of isapnpdump. The posts by Axalon are the ones to read first. He knows that of which he speaks.

Is Microsoft afraid to pay itself license fees for IIS? Sure looks like an Apache (open-source) Signature to me
