Network Troubleshooting
Crystal IT’s staff are experienced in troubleshooting network issues of all kinds. Whether it be network disconnections, slowness, intermittent timeouts, excessive bandwidth utilisation, or total outage, our techs have the tools and the knowledge to get you back up and running.
Network issues are generally divided into 3 distinct categories:
1. Physical issues:
Network issues caused by either faulty networking equipment such as network cards and switches, or cable breakage and shorts. Our staff carry network testing equipment which assists us to quickly diagnose the cause of any hardware or cabling fault.
2. Software & configuration issues:
Incorrectly configured networks, multiple DHCP servers, incorrect DNS, or network rampant viruses can all cause erratic network behaviour. Network mapping software and packet sniffers, allow our staff to see what’s happening on your network, so we can quickly address any software or configurational issues that may be the root cause of a poor performing network.
3. General network congestion:
Just like a road with an insufficient number of lanes to cope with peak hour traffic, a computer network needs to have the right components installed in the right way, to handle the amount of network traffic that flows through it. Slow networks can be caused by either using underpowered components or having a less than optimal network topology (the architecture of the network). Careful analysis of the entire network and evaluation of all components can indicate which network segments need to be upgraded.
