Safely Remove Hardware disconnects me from the Web

Last response: in Windows XP

Several days ago I found that every time I clicked on the "Safely Remove Hardware" button my Internet connection was terminated. This was even before I clicked on the device to be removed. I then have to reboot before I can reconnect as "there is no dialling tone". I presume that this is a software glitch, but I can find nothing relating to it on Microsoft's site and they want a large sum of money to engage in discussion with me.

What may be the problem?

What can I do about it?

hey make sure your modem device is not connected to the USB or may be your Network card.... my laptops' network card is connected to the USB so everytime i safely removes something i have to be very carefull may be your one is like that too not sure hope it helps
