"Hello?"
"Hi there, my internet is down."
"Aha. Can you load web pages?"
"No."
"Can you use $INTERNAL_APPLICATION?"
"No."
"I see. Okay, go to your Applications menu, choose Internet, and then
Network Information."
"Uh huh. Uh huh. Okay."
"Now you should see a 'Devices' page, can you see that?"
"Yes."
"What does the 'IP address' field say?"
"Zero dot zero dot zero dot zero."
"Alright, let's fix that..."

etc. :-)
