Summary
The documentation shows a notable Windows bias: network connectivity test examples use Windows tools (psping.exe) and PowerShell syntax first, with only a minimal Linux example (telnet) provided. In the transient issues section, only Windows tools are mentioned for packet testing, and Linux alternatives (like nc, nmap, or tcpping for Linux) are not discussed. This may cause friction for Linux/macOS users who need equivalent troubleshooting steps.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all network testing commands (e.g., use nc, nmap, or tcpping for Linux/macOS).
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS side by side, or clearly label them.
- List cross-platform tools (such as curl, nc, or nmap) where possible, and not just Windows-specific tools.
- When referencing downloadable tools (like psping.exe), mention if there are Linux/macOS alternatives or equivalents.
