Answer to Question #247100 in Computer Networks for Piento

Question

A technician is setting up a new wireless network at a branch office that previously had only wired connectivity with statically assigned IP addresses.

During testing, the technician is unable to access the Internet or named network resources. The technician receives a valid IP address from the DHCP server and can ping the default gateway.

Explain various steps that can be taken to resolve this issue. (each step highlighted MUST be accompanied by the intended solution the step hopes to achieve)

Answer 1

In this case the user must ping with the DNS server because in that case options are configured with the DNS server. It will help in the testing of the network installation.
