TECH: Lightening Damage on Novell Network

[Meadows Judy <psj000@MAIL.CONNECT.MORE.NET>]

Our small school has an Novell LAN with Windows 95 operating system.  Over
the weekend, lightening came in on the cable and did lots of selective
damage.  The network is down till further notice.  For instance the network
card on my machine was ruined.  Our tech coordinator spent all day working
on the system yesterday.  My library computer and one of the
superintendant's is back on-line, but no one else's works.

I always unplug my computers when I go home, but can't undo the cable as it
connects to the superintendants office.  Any suggestions for preventing
future damage to the network?  Is there someplace the tech coordinator can
get advice?

Thanks,

Judy
