Win2000 / Multiple devices, same IRQ

Anandtech'rs:

I am having a problem w/ my Geforce2MX video card. Windows 2000 seems to assign many devices to the same IRQ. Right now I have my SB 512, SMC 10/100 Network card, USB HUB, & Geforce2MX all sharing IRQ 11. I went through most of the steps to TRY to correct this, but the same results occur. Let me tell you what's up:

I disabled Plug and Play OS in my bios and reinstalled Win2000. This did not help, devices still chose 11.

Moved devices around; this helped and gave the video card an independent IRQ. I updated to SP2 and installed some drivers. Back to square one.

I guess my question is HOW THE HELL DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM????

Any / All help is greatly appreciated. Here are comp. specs.

MSI K7 Master (pcb v1.1) (bios v1.1)
AMD Athlon T-bird 1.333 GIG 266 Mhz
512 DDR PC2100 RAM
ASUS 7100 (Geforce2MX 200/400 32 MG RAM)
SMC 10/100 Network Card
Sound Blaster PCI 512
Maxtor 40 GIG HD
IBM Deskstar 75GXP 15 GIG
HP 8200 Burner
I/O Magic 50X CD-ROM

Thank you once again!
 
Some BIOS's allow you to assign the IRQ to the slot. Don't know if yours does.

Having problems? PCI is supposed to work this way.
 
Then how come Geforce2 lock-ups are related to it? I know I have gotten it to work before w/ my ASUS A7V -- It worked fine after this. Same solution to that situation is not working here.
