Yeah I was on my computer during a thunder storm. Bad boy! I fried my
NIC. Why I am telling you this is the surge went through the modem and
fried my NIC. How did it bypass the modem? (for more info:

It just started to thunder so I unplugged the computer not on the ups.
Should I also disconnect the NIC. I woyuld think that with it unplugged
that would be kill all electric circuits so there is nowhere for a surge to
go. But it's me... what the hell do I know :?)

Poor grounding and circuit isolation.
Probably more common than not with the race to make
cheaper/self-destructing devices so they can sell you another.

I doubt it was introduced via an actual
piece of coax/twisted-pair (dsl) or ethernet anyways, probably
more a surge in the power lines themselves, and some devices
reacted more adversely than others. Could have just been akin to

I just realized something. The surge had to jump two devices to get to my
computer! (modem/router connected to a router (using as switch) connected
to the computer).

Just because you are paranoid does not mean it cannot happen.

If it is connected to something it can jump to it.

If your NIC is plugged into something that is plugged in then I would
unplug it too just to make sure. Surges can definitely go through
Ethernet cables.
