Hans has it about right, but NT4 hates IRQ sharing of any kind, as far as I can recall, it often leads to the blue screen. (even win2K has problems with it on some motherboards).

Also, NT4 gets confused by multiples of some NICs, and sees them as a single card ,oops - blue screen again.

My advice: get a better server OS, e.g. Linux. I have, and life is a lot easier :-)
