Using the CompTIA 6-Step Troubleshooting to solve the following problem
Assignee: Open
Raised by: Blake Chaudhary, Sales Inventory Analyst
Category: Network Connectivity Issue
Priority: High
Message: Need to access my sales projections on the shared drive. I could access them yesterday afternoon, no problem. My boss is really leaning on me to get those figures in and he needs access right away.
Follow-Up from Help Desk Associate Jen: When I had Blake do an IPCONFIG for me, he read his IP address as 169.254.2.8. The network address for his unit is 10.20.30.X. I am not sure why it is different. What do you think is going on?
