Network problems belong to an area that is most difficult to debug
remotely due to the multitude of possible sources for errors:
cabling errors, incompatible NICs, hardware conflicts, MAC/ARP/IP
based conflicts, bad network parameters (netmask e.g.). Debugging
network problems usually requires a lot of work by the individual
who has the problems: collecting network config parameters,
examining log files (repeatedly), checking NIC config, checking
route table, ping tests, traceroute tests, ARP tests, trying
peer-to-peer or simple bus topology in order to reduce hardware
effort, trying hardcoded network configuration instead of relying
on probably misconfigured DHCP servers, and things like that.
