Sooooo,

Power went out at our house today, probably due to the 6 inches of wet snow we got last night. And, now our wireless router and Gamecube no longer function.

The router powers up and all the lights blink, but we can't get any sort fo network connection, either wired or wireless. The router is plugged into a brand new (installed yesterday) high-end Belkin surge protector, along with my PC and other periphals. Everything else works just fine.

Our Gamecube, which is less than 6 months old, won't even power up. It too was connected to a surge protector along with the TV, DVD player, Home Theatre, and PS2. Everything else on that strip works fine.

Anybody know?
Could the power outage, and a potential surge or whatever, have caused these devices to malfunction, but leave everything else working just fine? Or am I just expiriencing a very peculiar set of strange coincidences?
