How to establish a connection is capricious. Part 1
Tips Do It Yourself / / December 19, 2019
You just finish the job when your normally reliable browser displays a terrible message "Server not found". Now what? Roll up your sleeves and get down to business. (First of all, save the article. If you can not get online, it will not help you).
The best way to solve any problem with a computer - elimination method. Keep the number of possible problems to a single and find the right solution.
There are two types of connection problems when you can not get on any website, and when not loaded, only one (or more).
To determine the situation in which you find yourself, try entering the address into the address bar of different sites, including those that usually work: Google.com, Yahoo.com, Microsoft.com. At this stage, the command-line fans usually ignore the browser and open a service connection test, a simple tool that sends data to the server and receives a reply from him. Try to send information to the server: google.com, type in the command line. You will immediately see whether a computer has received the answer or not.
If you're not a fan of the command line, simply go to the site through different browsers. Make sure you have tried a few - in the event that the matter in the program settings.
Now you can see what the problem is: the connection or access to certain sites. If your connection is used several computer devices, try to do the same on each - all of a sudden it is a problem only on your computer. If so, let's start sorting options.
Option one: you generally can not access the Internet
Normal home wireless network consists of three parts: the computers and other devices, wireless router, and proper cable - or DSL-modem. If the internet worked fine, and suddenly go haywire, it's worth checking the first modem and the router. If they do not light bulbs, then restart them.
In short, the modem, and rebooting the router (router) 90% solves problems with the connection. Now try to connect again. If the server still does not respond, take a cable and connect your computer directly to the modem to exclude the router. Reboot the modem. Again try to connect. If not, call your ISP.
Option two: You can not get to one or more sites, other sites work
If you can not get to a particular site, the problem is most likely, in it.
My favorite tool for checking Web sites - Down For Everyone Or Just Me, which tells whether other people get to this site. If not, and this site is not available to anyone using Notify Mee to be notified by e-mail that he is working again. (Thank you, warplayer!)
