My printer (Brother MFC 7820N) is connected to my router (Vigor 2820N) and
a telephone line for fax
Yesterday in the electrical storm I saw two white flashes from my printer
(Brother MFC7820N).
This morning I cannot ping to it and on checking the onboard diagnostics
"Link status, Link Down" The printer will however continue to photocopy
I cannot connect anything to the port on the router
I think one of the ports on my router is also down
Bright ideas requested on
1) How I can check the extent of the damage
2) On the assumption that a surge due to the electrical storm blew the
network card via the phone line
- What system can I use to protect the phone line from future
problems
- Any idea how I can find a replacement network card?
3) Any suggestions for a Debian compatible scanner / printer. Last time I
saw the list a lot of people were happy with Epson. Samsung seems to
have systems available
PS Happy New Year
