In today’s world, every organization relies upon a good and hassle free Computer Network to maintain a good flow of data or information exchange. A Computer Network is the cornerstone of every organization used to share or exchange information which can be a image, text, video, sound clip or any other type of media or file. But it’s very embarrassing when we face some technical problems in our network which hampers our work. Here I am sharing some common network issues and some steps to come up with those issues.
1. Duplicate IP Address
Sometimes, more than one PC is trying to use same IP address by manual confirmation mistake, this can cause network issue with the parent network of computer or also it can intermittent network communications.
Solution: – Always try to find and assign a unique IP address for your PC or every computer system.
2. NIC got damaged or not placed well
NIC (Network Interface Card) is the most vital component of computer network is responsible for creating a temporary connection of your computer to a computer network.
Solution: – For NIC issue check your NIC to find whether it is good or damaged or installed properly or not. And you can also do ping the computers and analyse the problem and change the settings according to your problems or requirements.
3. No Network Access Issue
Sometimes we see “No Network Access” icon in our working computers or either we see a HTTP 504 web server error code.
Solution: – To solve this problem, check each and every component and wires are connected properly and if not then connect it properly or reset all the connections. You can also check the Hub or Router settings and if anything wrong is there just correct it or else you can restart the whole setup or connection.
4. Check Firewall Restrictions or Settings
Sometimes, Firewall will restrict and disallow the network access or file sharing between the computers in your network. That’s due to firewall restrictions which encounters no network issue or deny the network communication. Firewalls are responsible to protect your PC from threats or malware which can be come into your PC over internet or other network sources.
Solution: – Change your computer’s firewall settings and enable it for accessing network sharing and services. Then you’ll be able to connect, share and receive files, data or other media files from your networking system.
5. Slow Internet or Network Speed
You noticed some glitches in speed like slow internet or data transmission over the network then most of time usually people thought that they’ve excesses the data limit. This is also true but sometimes, it causes due to improper planning of network which causes the slower internet speed or data transmission over the network.
Solution: – Make sure that all the peripherals are connected and working properly. Use file compression technologies to reduce the burden of bulky files on network. Find and analyze the users to allocate network bandwidth according to the user’s needs to avoid excessive use of bandwidth or network space. And check your network card, is it updated or working properly or not, if anything is wrong then correct or replace it for a smoother networking performance.
6. Regular drops of network
You have noticed regular network connection failures or drops in network connections. Some physical damage of cables or wrong setup of network peripherals might be responsible for this.
Solution: – Check and identify the faulty areas, and if you see any cut or noise in cables then cut or replace it. Check to ensure the correct setup of routers, hubs and other network peripherals, and if anything is wrong there just correct it for a smooth networking experience.
