1. Have you checked the physical connectivity?
2. Have you entered correct IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server?
3. Can you ping your neighbors IP address?
4. Can you telnet to the gateway?

Steps for checking physical connectivity

1. Check if LEDs are glowing in the place where network cable is plugged into your PC.
2. If they are not, check if the cable is plugged properly. Remove and replug it at both ends. One end is in your computer and other is in the wall jack.
3. If LED's are glowing, go to next step. If they are still not glowing, please call a vendor to rectify the situation.

If physical connectivity seems fine then go to the next section:

1. Check if your IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS entries are correct (Please refer to Note 1 below for more details).

2.Type the following command in command prompt/ terminal for finding your IP on the machine:

On windows: "ipconfig". This command shows the machines IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
On Linux: Login as root. And type "/sbin/ifconfig"

3. Try to ping few machines in your building using the command prompt/ terminal. The command is: "ping x.x.x.x"
where x.x.x.x is the IP address.

4. If that succeeds, try to ping the switch of your building. The details of switch are given in Note 2 below.

5. If that succeeds, try to telnet the gateway. The details of gateway are given in Note 1 and 3 below. You can telnet using command prompt/ terminal. The command is:
"telnet x.x.x.x" where x.x.x.x is the IP address.
