If your computer is having problems connecting to the Internet, what should you do first?

If your computer is having problems connecting to the Internet, the first step you should take is to **check your network connectivity**. This involves making sure that your Wi-Fi is turned on (if you're using wireless), that you are connected to the correct network, and verifying that other devices can connect to the Internet. If the network connectivity seems fine, you can then proceed to other troubleshooting steps, such as restarting your computer or checking hardware connections.
