This requires lots of experience, in the quest for potential problems.

Some things you can do is:

  • Do a ping command to see whether you can reach the server. If you access over a router, i.e. the file server is in another subnet, see how far you can get with ping.
  • Check for loose or missing cables, for equipment (like switches, or routers) that are turned off, things like that.
  • Check the LEDs that indicate a cable connection. Also check any relevant messages on the computer or other equipment. For example, in Windows 98 or later, you will see a clear message, to the effect that the cable is disconnected, if the network card doesn't detect a signal on the cable.
  • See if you can connect to other pieces of equipment. For example, if one computer can do a ping to another computer (apart from the network server).
