Yes, if its PCI, try changing the slot.

I have mine turned off and my DSL works, whcih was a probelm at first. Now another PnP problem. It was all working very well, but then the IRQ of my NIC suddenly changed to 15, knocking out my second IDE channel. Now the CD drive is unavailable.
Does anyone have an idea how to change the IRQ for the NIC? Will putting it into a different slot work? Is there a config file or the like that I could change?
But I don't think your problem is related to plug and pray. The CD drive probably resides on the IDE bus which probably uses PCI. Is the NIC a PCI card and if so why is it negotiating the same IRQ as the IDE bus? What kind of NIC? What version of linux? Exactly what kinds of errors are you seeing? Do you get to a prompt? Try: cat /proc/interrupts to see the list of interrupts allocated for each resource. It could be a driver problem. I owned a number LinkSys EtherFast cards using the tulip.o module. I saw a problem like this when I used an older version of the driver.
Moving it to a different slot did nothing.
Any other ideas?
