Good afternoon and welcome all! When troubleshooting a networking problem, i would follow a structured process to avoid guesswork and wasted time. First, i would identify the problem by asking questions, checking error messages and determining whether the issue affects one device or the whole network. Next i would form a theory of probable cause, starting with simple issues such as loose cables, WIFI settings, or IP conflicts. I would then test this theory using commands like ping or by swapping out hardware. Once the cause is identified, I would create a plan of action that solves the issue with the least disruption, such as restarting a router before replacing equipment. After implementing the solution I would verify functionality to confirm the problem is resolved. Finally, which is also important, is to document the issue and fix for future reference. This method is effective because it is logical, efficient and based on standard industry practices.

Hello, Carlos! You described a great troubleshooting process. I like that you incorporated ways to prevent wasting time and/or money. For example, you said that your plan of action should involve something with the least disruption. If the action with the least amount of disruption truly fixes the problem, it should definitely be attempted first so that there are not unnecessary costs.

The first thing I would do when troubleshooting is gaining as much information as possible and going from there. Knowing what exactly the issue could be affecting can help to know what steps to take. Learning more about the issue can come from testing the device and asking the user good, clear questions so that they can give information on what they have experienced on their device.
After using this information critically, this should narrow down what the cause could be. From there, I would make a plan and complete the steps of that plan. After taking these steps, I would make sure that the problem has been fixed by running some tests. If it has not been fixed, I would go through the information again and take similar steps to find another solution. If it has been fixed, then I would let the user know what happened and how to prevent the issue in the future, and I would document the issue and what fixed it to keep a record of it.

Hello Isabelle!
Great framework, clear questions, testing and documentation are spot on! Id add prioritizing impact and reproducibility up front , checking logs and recent changes, and confirming environment factors such as network, permissions and or updates. After the fix, perform a brief root cause review and preventative measure checklist to avoid recurrences and share lessons with the team of course! Overall, great input!
