To diagnose network connectivity status, the Network Diagnostics for Windows XP tool analyzes the following tests:
• IP configuration test
• Default gateway test
• Winsock test
• DNS test
• Firewall test
• Internet connectivity validation test
Typically, a support professional will work with you when you run the Network Diagnostics for Windows XP tool to help diagnose network connectivity status.
Most home networks use one of the following methods to access or share a single high-speed Internet connection:
