ping using the NetWorker server’s hostname.

running nslookup using the NetWorker server’s fully qualified
domain name.
For more information about the ping and nslookup commands, refer to
the Microsoft documentation.

on device driver software, refer to the device manufacturer’s
documentation.

operating system during disaster recovery of a NetWorker server, storage
node, or client host computer. You can recover the Windows operating system

following procedure only as a last resort for recovering a Windows
installation. Instead, use the ASR recovery method if possible. For more
