Can CLA2 and Network Card Sharing an IRQ cause lock ups?

[sd]

I see that my CLA2 and NIC are sharing the same IRQ. I'm getting lock ups in 2D and 3D games(while online). I experienced the more rare 2D lock up while downloading from ftp. Most of my lock ups are during online Q3. Any thoughts?

I have made the switch and they are on different IRQs, but I have yet to test it out.

NICs like PCI slots 2 and 3, and don't like to share.

My NIC was in PCI slot 2 and it was sharing, its now in slot 4 and it has its own IRQ. Do ya think that was my problem?

Well, if you're using win2k, everything is on one IRQ..

I'd say by my post that its obvious that I'm not.
