I have a weird problem that seems to have cropped up.

In my recent efforts to add a Zip 250 SCSI drive to my system I also
decided to add a Soundblaster AWE64...well I added the necessary support
and recompiled my kernel.  Booted with no problem and everything was
recognized with no apparent errors.  Sound works great and can now play
mp3's to my hearts content...BUT...with the soundcard in the machine I can
no longer get a connection to my ISP.

The machine in question (2.2.6 Release)acts as a gateway for our LAN,
forwarding packets across the PPP connection.  It has never had problems
getting a connection until now.  If I pull the soundcard out the machine
will connect fine but if I try to replace it I can't get a connection.
Weird?!?  I thought it was a coincidence at first but I tried it several
times with the same results (every time it'll connect the first attempt
with no soundcard).

Anyone have a clue as to what's going on??...'cause I sure don't.

Here's my sound entries from the kernel:

controller	snd0

device sb0	at isa? port 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 vector sbintr
device sbxvi0	at isa? drq 5
device sbmidi0	at isa? port 0x330

And here's the line for com2:

device sio1	at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr

Just to be thorough here's the boot messages for both:

Jan 24 01:25:24 kamikaze /kernel: sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
Jan 24 01:25:24 kamikaze /kernel: sio1: type 16550A

Jan 24 01:25:25 kamikaze /kernel: sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa
Jan 24 01:25:25 kamikaze /kernel: sb0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16>
Jan 24 01:25:25 kamikaze /kernel: sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa
Jan 24 01:25:25 kamikaze /kernel: sbxvi0: <SoundBlaster 16 4.16>
Jan 24 01:25:25 kamikaze /kernel: sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa
Jan 24 01:25:25 kamikaze /kernel:  <SoundBlaster MPU-401>


Anybody have suggestions (besides leaving the soundcard out ;) )??

If you guys could copy me on any replies I'd appreciate it...I'm not
