This morning there were bad thunderstorms here. My TV won't go on, and my Linux machine says "unknown host: mail.optonline.net" The router only shows flashes on the Windows machine connection.. Is this likely to be a blown ethernet connection, or does anyone suspect something else. (I think the ethernet connection is on the MOBO, so it may be hard to replace.) I tried moving the Linux machine to a different port on the router, but it didn't help.Obviously at least one line of the router is working, as I'm sending this. I also cannot ping anyone from the console on the Linux machine Suggestions? TNX--doug.
