Resource conflicts

I am setting up a new Netware-server with two disk controllers. (one scsi and one ata-100) and two NIC (both 3com).
My problem is that no matter what i do i get resource conflicts.
One of the NICs, the SCSI-card (AHA-2940), and the graphics card is using the same IRQ. I tried the function in bios where i can force a slot to use a particular IRQ. No result. If i configure an IRQ for "Legacy ISA" all the three cards jump to another IRQ.
The 3com NIC can't be configured to use a particular IRQ, someone know if you can do that with the SCSI-card?

Welcome to the world of plug and play. They aren't resource conflicts anymore. They are shared resource allocations.
The ata controller is the one built in right? You don't want to add too many cards if you can help it. Video is agp? Start with one nic. Some bios have a reset data or a function that makes the bios re read its settings and reassign resources upon bootup. You enable it and after the next boot its disabled again.
Hurtle I couldn't get past was having 2 nics with the same irq. Netware would not work with that. Other shared resoureces didn't seem to make a difference.
