for the Reporting to the MAX

The purpose of this section is to give general tips
on troubleshooting yourTCP/IP Lan or Internet Connection

If you are having difficulty make a network connection

Try PINGing another computer.
This is to test if you have basic TCP/IP connectivity.
First use a computer's IP address. If you are connecting to the Internet, try pinging the IP address of your DNS server.
The syntax is: PING IP_Address. An example would be PING 192.168.0.1

Try Pinging Yourself

This does not mean using your own IP address
Either type:
PING localhost
or
PING 127.0.0.1
A good response ensures the loopback in the local machine can be reached.

If your PING works but you are having problems finding sites on the Internet
Try PINGing a name rather than an IP address. This will determine if your DNS entry is correct or working. For example: PING your_ISP's_domain_name

If you can't Ping a Computer Name

Check the DNS IP address in your Network or Dial-Up Icon's setup
If you are only using an ISP and not connected to a local Lan, you only need a DNS entry in the Dial-Up Icon.
