Static Electricity Problems

   / Static Electricity Problems #21  
Hello! Eddie
I had the exact same problem as you with the HSI and and grounding issue.TooK My provider and I a couples of months to figure it out.
You were creating a grounded loop as suggested in an earlier post,by
unhooking the ground you eliminated the loop but the problem is if you
get a lightning strike On your ungrounded HSI line it will fry your NIC Card
at the least (it did mine) and maybe your computer.To be safe I'd just put evevrything on the same ground. Oh! BTW when it fried my NIC it put a
small hole (hatPin) size right thru the middle fo the NIC card thats one reason it took us 2 months to figure everthing out.
Didn't mean to restart up a dead thread,just wanted to give you a
Friendly warning so you wouldn't get burned as I did. :)

Mike,

Thanks for the tip.

Ever since I took off the ground line, I haven't had a single problem. It's acually working good!!
