     Talking about Troubleshooting on the Chit Chat Across the Pond Podcast

   Adam Engst

   My story about troubleshooting a communications failure with my solar
   inverters (see '[1]Solar Inverter Connectivity Problem Reveals Weak
   Troubleshooting,' 25 July 2024) triggered Allison Sheridan to write
   about [2]another networking problem whose solution also turned out to
   be a variant of 'Is it plugged in?' In [3]episode #798 of her Chit Chat
   Across the Pond podcast, we discussed my scenario, how a series of
   assumptions muddied the waters, and how those who don't spend their
   lives probing technology are supposed to figure any of this out.
