Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Command-line examples (such as nslookup) are shown exclusively with Windows-style prompts (e.g., 'c:\ >nslookup'), and PowerShell-specific tools like Test-NetConnection are referenced without Linux/macOS equivalents. There are no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples, and instructions for editing the hosts file are described in a Windows-centric manner. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for troubleshooting steps, potentially creating friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS shell commands alongside Windows examples (e.g., use 'nslookup' or 'dig' with bash/zsh prompts).
  • For PowerShell-specific commands like Test-NetConnection, offer alternatives such as 'nc' (netcat), 'telnet', or 'curl' for Linux/macOS.
  • When referencing file edits (like the hosts file), include Linux/macOS file paths (e.g., /etc/hosts) and editing instructions.
  • Use neutral command prompts (e.g., '$' or '#') or show both Windows and Unix-style prompts in code blocks.
  • Explicitly mention that the steps apply to both Windows and Linux/macOS, and highlight any OS-specific differences.
