The Layered Troubleshoot

Three Meridian users each report 'I can't reach the reporting site'. You have each machine's diagnostics. Apply the bottom-up method — address, gateway, DNS, route, port — and name, for each case, the first failing layer and the fix. The three failures are at different layers; do not assume they share a cause.

What you will be able to do

Walk the layered checklist and stop at the first failure.
Distinguish a DNS failure from a routing or service failure.
Match each fault to the correct layer, not a guessed one.
