D'oh well. on Sun Jun 10 18:19:08 CEST 2007 a lightning struck somewhere nearby and somehow crept past the separator barriers in my network. The result however was, when I came home I found my network inactive, because the master switch connecting the server to the router was gone. Still all the lights were happily flashing, yet no frame came through. Apologies for the services and sites being unavailable between Sunday and Monday. Things are fixed again and frames flowing happily again.... tho through a hub at the moment until I can buy a new switch.
