I've got two in my PC, and didn't have any problems at all.
So three should also be alright IMHO.ICQ: 52410619 -

Probably a conflict. I know I have had at least 4 working in the same box at once but don't ask how we got it set up because that was like 5 years or so ago.Originally posted by riosluts

it can support all three. having all 3 the same brand may make things a little confusing one cause you won't know which is which. my server (mini shuttle box) has the option for two lan port but i only needed one. right now i'm running with the LAN and Wifi active no problem.Comment

I've done a W2K Server box with 4, all of them the same brand of 3Com. Had to do this registry hack for load balancing across all of the cards.Originally posted by riosluts

Yes you can, you will likely get an IRQ conflict but thats easily fixed. Since you would be capable of tansfering SOOO much you might not have enough processing power to send and full speed with all, then you might need some balancing tweak/hack.Originally posted by riosluts

actually no. I would only use probably 2 at a time at "max capacity" the reason why I want all 3 to work is because I don't want to switch around between them. Where can I get these IRQ conflicts fixed? Device Properties?Originally posted by Kard63

There's a bunch of TCP/IP registry parameters that are not set by default. This knowledge base article (WinXP) lists them all.Originally posted by riosluts

For winXP you can click through the adapters manually in start/administrative tools/Computer Management /Device Manager. While your there have a look at the event viewer for funky errors from your network stuff.Originally posted by riosluts

Some older motherboards (BX chipset comes to mind) have a PCI slot that isn't very co-operative. It's one of the middle slot and should be documented as a 'non busmastering' slot. That problem has caused me huge headaches in the past installing multiple video capture cards.Comment

is there anyway to check if I have a BX chipset?Originally posted by gwilkins

Look up your motherboard documentation and they may have documented it. The manufacturer, model #, and revision # should be on the board.Originally posted by riosluts

It might be a different problem but that's what I would look at next. Try searching GFY for 'Agent White'. He seems to know his networking ;)Comment
