I have three outlets (one outside and two inside) that do not work. They are all along the same wall. No breakers are tripped. What do I need to check to get things working again?

It's usually a tripped GFCI or an open neutral. An $8 plug-in outlet tester available from any home center will narrow the search down. Once you tell us what it reads, we can tell you what the next logical analysis step is.

Since one is outside, my vote goes to tripped GFCI. Look in garage, the outside receptacles, bathrooms, basement.
