IRQ 9 is a common ACPI "place holder", you should not need to worry. But in
case you don't need the onboard ac97 modem, it's always a good idea to
deactivate it in your bios.

Just post the output of "ipconfig /all" and "route print" from the win2k pc,
as well as from one of your XP boxen, when connected to the router.
You may also compare "ifconfig" and "route" outputs in linux with these
obtained from windows. Especially important is the "default gateway".

I guess you don't have the server, and dhcp enabled means "client".
Do you have something like zonealarm or norton firewall on the box? Can you
ping it from XP, or get anything else but "connection refused" when you try
to open a command prompt in XP and "telnet <ip_of_2k> 445 (or 139)?
