1. Some users are unable to access the Internet form their workstations. A technician runs the ipconfig command on one of the workstations and sees the following:
   IPV4 address 192.168.1.27
   Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

   The technician pings 8.8.8.8 and gets no response. Next, the technician pings 192.168.1.1 and gets no response. The technician is able to successfully ping an adjacent workstation but cannot ping the print server on the floor below. Which of the following is the
   MOST likely cause of the Internet connectivity issue in the office?

   A. There is a problem with a router in the office
   B. There is a problem with a DNS server in the office
   C. The users are not getting correct IP addresses from the DHCP server
   D. The wireless access point in the area is down

2. B – There is a problem with a DNS server in the office – able to ping neighbor via WINS but not able to ping external addresses
   Not A – There is a problem with a router in the office – That would affect ALL – not SOME
   Not C – The users are not getting correct IP addresses from the DHCP server – DHCP problems would affect ALL – not SOME
   Not D – question doesn’t say that the workstations are wireless
   [NOTE: WINS translates a NetBIOS name to an IP address. DNS translates host name to IP address and vice versa.]
