    Unplugging Network Card

    Locked

    by bob · about 21 years, 10 months ago

    Does anyone know what exactly changes if the Network Card is Unplugged. Or does anything change? Big LEGAL question over a pornographic bust.

    Need a answer fast…

      NIC address

      There are multiple things that change on the box itself depending on the OS running. Looking at it from the network perspective: one thing consistent is the “unique” MAC address assigned to that NIC is hard-coded. So then regardless of type of IPaddressing you use the “unique” address of that particular machine (by virtue of its NIC) will have changed.
