You are the administrator of your company’s network. The network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The network includes Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 Professional client computers. All computers have manually configured IP addresses. A portion of your network is shown in the Configuration exhibit.
You install a new Windows XP Professional client computer on Subnet2. The user of this computer reports that she cannot access an application hosted on APPSRV1.
When she tries to access the application, she receives the following error message:
* Network path not found.
* The user verifies that she can access resources on other servers located on both subnets.
You view the configuration of her network connection, as shown in the Network Connection Details exhibit.
You need to ensure that the user can access the application on APPSRV1.
What should you do?
A.
Configure the computer to use the address of the DNS server on Subnet1.
B.
Configure the computer to use the address of the WINS server on Subnet1.
C.
Configure the computer to use DHCP to automatically receive its TCP/IP configuration.
D.
Configure the computer to use an IP address from Subnet1 as an alternate configuration.
Explanation:
The application server is a Window NT machine so it will use a NetBIOS name. NetBIOS names are resolved with WINS servers. The Windows NT machine should register with the WINS server on subnet 1. But the IP Configuration exhibit shows that the WINS server entry is incorrect. It should be 172.30.1.3, not 172.30.2.167.Incorrect Answers:
A: DNS is not used for NetBIOS names.
C: All computers have static IP addresses.
D: Alternative IP configuration is used for portable computer. This setting does not apply in this situation.
