Check your cables

Posted 03 February 2003 - 10:33 AM

we run a dual network here at work. our PC network runs alongside another company's Apple XServe. we had some tech in here for weeks trying to figure out why our internet access and email way blinking on and off, then finally crashed and burned. turned out to be a loose cable on the router. baha. boy, was that embarassing. :lol:

I had a problem once where I was running on a bad cable, frist thing I checked. So I went to the back room and got another cable, plugged it in, worked fine. couple hours later my computer messed up again, so I thought it was my computer, being as I just installed a windows 'service' pack. So I messed with my computer for 4 hours, to find that that new cable was 'semi-bad'.... ERGH!

Because he didn't follow the 7 layers of the OSI model :)

Physical - Check the cables
Data - Check to see if you can get a signal from one end to the next
Network - Check to make sure the signal is getting to the CPU
Transport
Session
Protocol
Application
