+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection timeout
+
+If you are running Windows based OS, and receive multiple `Warning: Connection timeout. Retrying...` errors during `Vagrant Up` - you may required hardware virtualisation (VT-x) enabled on your processor to install a 64bit Virtualbox.
+
+Use this tool from Microsoft to see if VT-x is enabled - http://www.microsoft.com/en-za/download/details.aspx?
+
+If it is not enabled - you will need to enable it in your BIOS setting.
