1. ipconfig, ping, and tracert |
|
I always start by pinging the loopback (127.0.0.1), then the PC's IP, then a PC on the intranet, then an internet IP. If you think you're dropping packets, use the -t switch for a continous ping. Use tracert to see where you are losing the packets.

2. I don't exactly understand |
|
what's the problem? Is your connection bogged or stopping? Are you wireless? IP address problems? Gateway problems?

4. Great suggestions from people.. but here's what i'm looking for... |
|
I'm trying to develop a higher level methodology for internet ts agents. There are any number of troubleshooting methodologies out there, but none that I've seen that deal specifically with TS phone/email/chat support. What I want to do is try to hit some of the high level "MUST DO's" whenever an agent grabs a call or answers an e-mail...
Maybe i'm looking for "best practices' rather than a specific set of actions. For example, the first thing we need to do is nail down what the problem is. The customer won't always be able to articulate this properly. How do we do this? Etc.
Sorry I wasn't clear previously.
Thx!

There is an exam called Cisco Internet Troubleshooting (CIT) and there is some information about this on the website. I have the CBT versions of the training and it lists a specific methodology for troubleshooting.
