AC Power Surge Protectors???

Several afternoons running we in our area have had some fairly rough thunderstorms and rain, also lightning. AC power takes hits, blinks, computer goes down, clocks start flashing, etc, etc. Restart and move on, right?
One lightning strike, apparently close. Thought I heard a small pop from near the outlet that supplies both DSL and power to the computer. Lost Ethernet link between the DSL modem and computer. AT&T rep gets me as far as the Windows Network Adapters, no Ethernet at all. Long story short, maybe, a power surge got in and wiped out the ethernet software net adapters? Who knows? But, I got it back, eventually.
How effective are power surge protectors for very expensive electronic stuff???? The plug-in-the-wall kind??
Belkin seems to be a common name in products.
Your expertise and suggestions appreciated.
