Lightning hit close to my house and apparently there was a surge through the network that damaged my cable modem, computer ethernet port and a few of the AirPort Extreme network ports. The power for all of the equipment is on a UPS, but not the cable from the outside. As a result the WAN and 1st Ethernet port seem to be dead, but the other two ports work. However, without the WAN port I can not gain connectivity. The wireless portion of the unit seems to work fine. I replaced the cable modem and tried reseting the Airport to no avail. I fear that all is lost! Any ideas? I have not disassembled the unit...yet.
