  7. You can do a simple test to see if you’re connected to the network. After using the “ipconfig” utility to see your IP address information, note that you can also see an address for “Default Gateway.” In this case, you can see that my default gateway is 10.3.0.1. At the prompt, type “ping [gateway address]”. If you get a reply, you’re connected.

  8. Basic Troubleshooting • Very that you are physically connected to network. Make sure there is a network cable plugged into your network adapter and look for a link light. • Verify that you have an IP address. • Take note of which applications on your computer are working, and which ones aren’t.
