is it safe to unplug a ethernet card/ running

is it safe to unplug a ethernet card well the pc is running? just to plug the broadband into an other pc?

 

Yes and NO

You can unplug / replug the ethernet cable from the card or router live

You can unplug / replug a pcmcia ethernet card (in a laptop) live

You can insert/remove a usb to ethernet adapter live

You cannot insert/remove a pci /isa/ card whilst or 'hot or live'

Most pcs these days have the ethernet physically incorporated in the motherboard so you physically can't remove them.

Hope this helps

 

yes its fine.

 

thanks, double checking on that,, cheers guys
