It is hard wired and among all other computers, it is the only one that is offline.  The logs which are attached here state that it cannot finish the bootstrapping process.  My browser also does not surf.  I can get an IP address but that's as far as it gets.  I'm having trouble deciphering the log files.  Any help is appreciated.

It looks to me like your computer doesn't have an internet connection
anymore.

The "My browser also does not surf" is a good hint.

Maybe when the power outage happened, some of your computers broke.
Perhaps the router now has some problems, or perhaps the ethernet cable
coming out of this computer is busted, or perhaps the ethernet card
inside the computer is now busted. Many things can happen as a result
of power surges, which often come with power outages.

Good luck,
