Definitely a common problem, so don't feel bad. :)
I assume one or both of the cards you're using is ISA. You must get a
configuration program from the card manufacturer and set the card that way.
Ordinarily this program is part of the driver set for the card, so you can
usually start the system using a DOS bootable floppy and just run it from
the diskette.
After you set the IRQs, I/O range, etc. for the card, go into your system's
BIOS and make sure the IRQs you chose are not set for Plug and Play usage;
usually the setting you need to change the IRQ to is "Legacy ISA" or
something similar.
That should get you up and running!
