Set up a file like this, called troubleshooting.txt.

[ Is there an IP address? ] -- no --> [ Check NIC driver, dmesg ]

[ Is there an IP address? ] -- yes --> [ Can you ping the router? ]

[ Can you ping the router? ] -- no --> [ Check cables, router, and switches ]

[ Can you ping the router? ] -- yes --> [ Can you ping a DNS address? ]

[ Can you ping a DNS address? ] -- no --> [ Trying pinging 8.8.8.8 ]

[ Can you ping a DNS address? ] -- yes --> [ Traceroute ]

Then translate it with:

graph-easy troubleshooting.txt --as boxart

Many options allow different displays. Try placing this in a file:

[ One ] { fill: seagreen; color: white; } -- label --> [ Two ] { shape: triangle; }

[ One ] => { arrow-style: closed; } [ Three ]

[ Five ] { fill: maroon; color: yellow; } <=> [ Three ]

[ One ] .. Test\n label ..> [ Four ]

[ Three ] { border-style: dashed; }

.. Test\n label ..> { arrow-style: closed; } [ Six ] { label: Sixty\n Six\nand\nsix; }

[ Three ] <-- Test label --> { arrow-style: closed; } [ Six ]

[ Eight ] .. [ None ] { shape: none; fill: red; color: brown; }

[ no Network ] --> [ Is there an IP address? ]
