-
Faulty cable
-
Improperly connected cable
-
Incorrect cable
-
Faulty interface
-
Faulty networking devices
Now that we have looked at some of the more generalized considerations of remote connectivity troubleshooting from a physical perspective, we'll focus specifically on some of the commonly used remote access technologies.
