Tech Email #1: Lightning? Nah!

My name is [omitted] and I have recently come across a new problem with my internet connections. I have no problem with turning on my computer. My problem is when I want to use my internet explorer. This happened right before a heavy lightning storm this afternoon. I was online just before it until I heard the thunder getting close. I then turned my computer until the storm had passed. Now, at 6:00 p.m. I tried to go online to resume my former tasks when the only page that will ring up on my computer is “this page cannot be found”. I tried to refresh and followed all of the steps that this particular page had described. The last thing that it can tell me is to reset my browser. I was told that it could be bad. I went to my neighbor’s house and he has no problem getting on his explorer. I am still receiving mp3 downloads from my “queue” list at audiogalaxy.com. So I know that I am connected, I just can’t get out. Please help mewith some advice that will help me restore my computer to where it was before the storm. Thank you for the time that you took in reading my little plea. [omitted]
