Hal's Guide to Network Troubleshooting

[prillalar]

I've seen so many posts about networking problems on my flist in the last few days. I administer the networks both at work and at home, so I thought I would share my never-fail troubleshooting process.

1. Make sure everything is plugged in.

2. Turn everything off and on again, in varying orders.

3. Human sacrifice.

And that's all you need to know!

Can animals sacrifice be substituted in a pinch?

[prillalar]

I'm allergic to most animals so I haven't tried. I should think it *might* work if it were a particularly cute or desirable animal. But that's really at your own risk.

Excellent. Just as I suspected.

Yeah, but he's good with computers. Don't want to be too hasty.
