For example, you might include one list of steps for situations in which the user says others on the network are visible in the Network window and another list of steps for situations in v remote computers can be seen in the Network window. 3.

However, make sure you can't see the other computer screen or see what the user is doing.) 4. The user should attempt to access the network and then "call" your help desk for assistance. 5. Follow your procedure to solve the problem. 6. Revise your procedure as necessary. 7. Test all four help-desk procedures. REVIEW QUESTIONS 1.
