The correct first step would be to verify the link status on the network card. This involves checking if the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the workstation and the network switch/router, ensuring the link lights on both ends of the connection are lit. Additionally, checking if the cable is not damaged or faulty is important. If the link status is confirmed to be good, then further troubleshooting steps can be taken.
