I suppose it comes down to where the user would expect that
documentation to be found. If information on troubleshooting connections
is most likely to be needed when someone is initially trying to connect,
then I suppose putting it in 'Connecting' would be the most sensible.

I do share your concerns about having a navigation pane which is too
crowded, though. Would all of the smaller troubleshooting sections be
part of one main section in Connecting if we did it that way (e.g.
Wired, Wireless, ..., Troubleshooting)?

Thanks,

Phil
