First, you should check the network connection to ensure that the workstation is properly connected to the LAN. Make sure that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged in and verify that the network port on the workstation is enabled and functioning properly.
If the physical connection is fine, you should then check the IP settings on the workstation. Ensure that the workstation is assigned a valid IP address within the range of the LAN. You can do this by checking the network adapter settings on the workstation and verifying that it is set to receive an IP address automatically (via DHCP) or manually assigned with the correct subnet and gateway information.
Additionally, you can try pinging other devices on the LAN to see if there is any connectivity. If you are unable to ping any other devices, there may be an issue with the network configuration or firewall settings on the workstation.
If these basic troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, you should consider checking the network infrastructure such as switches, routers, and firewalls for any possible issues or configuration problems. It may also be helpful to consult with the network administrator or IT support for further assistance.
