Want to report a problem to your network support staff? First ask yourself “what can’t get to what?” then answer to yourself!

If you want, say this out loud so people around you can also begin to learn network troubleshooting skills.

You have already answered the first question that the network engineer will ask you when you tell them something isn’t working! Repeat after me… “what can’t get to what?”.

Fill in the blanks: _____ can’t get to _____

For bonus points, figure out if DNS is resolving the names to the expected IP’s after you’ve determined what can’t get to what.

Yay!
