   Is there someone who has the same or similar symptoms around you?


2. Check FAQ.
   FAQ about the Portal is ready for you. Take a look at them, then you might find the answer you want.


3. How about asking search sites?
   Can't you find the similar symptoms or any solutions on those search sites?


4. Try getting your inquiry in order.
   Only "I can't use __." is not enough to solve your trouble smoothly.
   Try having your explanation in order, for example, "When I click this __ button, I got a __ message.", which is easy for us to understand what the problem is and find a solution quickly.

Sample questions which are difficult to address at IT Service Desk

1. Network in my Lab cannot be connected properly.
   The IT Service Desk cannot check network which has been set up by each lab or netowork administrators in each organization.
   Please ask your lab or the network administrator of your building first.


2. I don't know how to set up Wi-Fi router or printer which I purchased.
   Usually, the IT Service Desk doesn't have the same machinery as you have now in trouble. Contact the manufacturer or the vender where you purchased them.


3. Is it possible to do __ using Word (or Excel)？
   Why don't you ask serch sites? Just put key words and click "Search"! We use them as well.
