After installing a new DHCP server on the network, you need to verify that the network devices are receiving IP addresses via DHCP. You reboot a Windows XP client system and using the ipconfig command, receive the following information: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 1: Description: CardBus-II 10/100 PC Card Physical Address : 02-00-4C-3F-50 DHCP Enabled : Yes Auto configuration Enabled : Yes Auto configuration IP Address : 169.254.25.129 Subnet : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway: DNS Servers: Which of the following statements are true?

You are troubleshooting a network connectivity issue on a UNIX system. You are able to connect to the remote system by using their IP address, but unable to connect using the hostname. You check the TCP/IP configuration, and note that a DNS server IP address is configured. You decide to run some manual resolution queries to ensure that the communication between the UNIX system and the DNS server are working correctly. Which utilities can you use to do this?

Mary calls to tell you that she can't to an intranet server called WebSrv1. From her computer, you ping the server's IP address. The ping test is successful. Which tool would you use on her workstation next to troubleshoot the problem?

CorpServ is a small company with 14 client systems and a network printer. Because there are only a limited number of networked systems, you decide to use APIPA addressing for the network. With APIPA configured, all systems are able to communicate with each other but you are having trouble configuring Internet access. What is the likely cause of the problem?

A user reports that he can't browse to a specific Web site on the Internet. From his computer, you find that a ping test to the Web server succeeds. A trace route test shows that 17 hops to the destination Web server. What is the most likely cause of the problem?

You are implementing a DHCP server for your segment. Your segment's IP address is 192.168.1.0. Your default gateway address is 192.168.1.254. Your DNS server address is 192.168.1.1. Your default gateway is configured as a NAT router to translate addresses between network segments. YOu configured the 03 Router option on your DHCP server so it can deliver the IP address of the default gateway to workstations. After configuring your workstations to get their IP address information dynamically, your users complain that they are unable to access web sites on the Internet. How can you resolve this problem?
