<div dir="ltr"><br><div class="gmail_extra">ohhhhhh.... so the ethernet PORTS are vulnerable, regardless of if s cable is attached to it. I think you mean it this way because there is no cable attached to the ethernet portOtherwise the instructions don't make sense.<br clear="all"><div>:-)~MIKE~(-:</div>

Wires pick up from the air radio pulses generated by lightning and power surges.<br>
This turns into voltage in the ethernet cable. Not frequent but it can happen.<br>
<br>
Also, only a proper ups, not a surge protector, can protect you from a<br>
brownout.<br>
<br>
make sure you run your network cable, and your broadband cable (coax) through a UPS for best protection. (as well as the AC plugs!)<span><br>

On the multimeter thing - if you happen to get a coupon for a free<br>
multimeter from Harbor Freight that's your cheapest possible<br>
meter, and<br>
according to a friend its not a bad meter.<br>
<br>
If you want to buy it I think its under $10, but I'm not sure. In<br>
addition, Lowes, Home Depot, Radio Shack, Fry's, and that<br>
computer store<br>
on Country Club near Main in Mesa all should have meters as<br>
well. As<br>
well as all your online options and whatever other local attractions<br>
I've forgotten ... oh, I bet 'the candy store' (Ham Radio<br>
Outlet) has<br>
meters too. ;-)<br>
<br>
And a meter that works is generally handy for all sorts of things<br>
anyway, so at least one meter is highly recommended...<br>
