I should know i had it happen to me! and my cables were about 10cm under ground! obviously not enough to avoid a lightning strike! thats ok though cause the network cards were cheap. :-) |

I don't think that's really a problem for me, anyway I have to get up for work in six hours, so I better get some sleep. |

I can understand why you have to run things under doors on the same floor, but not why you have to go up the outside of the building! .Clueless |
