lightning

[Marcel Kunath]

Hello,

a frind of mine had some serious storm two days ago with lightning and heavy
rain which actually came inside her house.

She lost her connection on a lightning strike. Her machines still run fine it
seems but her hub is not working. The lights stayed on. So the thing was cheap
and old anyhow and she bought a switch. She couldn't get it to go yet and
wonders if lightning can affect the cat5 wiring in her house because the
machines run fine, the server can connect via the cable modem its just when she
wants to hook up any of the internal machines its problematic.

So does lightning have an affect on the wiring itself?
