lightning

[Benjamin Minshall]

I suppose the lightning could have melted some cat5; although for
that to happen I would bet that the devices on both ends are
fried.  I'd be more inclined to examine the ethernet cards
attached to the switch/hub.  Perhaps one of those has been
damaged and is altering the voltages on the switch.
