You are the network administrator for your company. The network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The network contains two IP subnets that are connected by a router. The router is configured as shown in the following table.
Each subnet contains one domain controller. Each domain controller runs the DNS Server service and hosts an Active Directory integrated zone. The domain controller on Subnet1 also runs the WINS Server service. All client computers run Windows XP Professional and have statically configured IP addresses. Pierre is a visiting user on Subnet2. Pierre reports that he cannot access resources on servers located on Subnet1. Pierre is able to connect to resources on Subnet2. All other users on Subnet2 are able to access resources on Subnet1. You run the Ipconfig /all command on Pierre’s portable computer and receive the following response.

What should you do on Pierre’s computer to resolve this problem?
A.
Add the address of the WINS server on Subnet1.
B.
Configure an alternate gateway that has a metric of 1 for the router’s Subnet1 interface.
C.
Create an alternate TCP/IP configuration that specifies an address for Subnet1.
D.
Change the default gateway parameter to 192.168.2.1.
Explanation:
The default gateway parameter is incorrect. The current value is 192.168.2.201, the IP address of the computer itself. We should change it to IP address of the router interface connected to Subnet2, 192.168.2.1.Incorrect Answers
A: DNS is configured. There is no need for WINS.
B: Only one correctly configured default gateway is required,
C: Alternative IP configuration is not useful in this scenario. It is used for portable computers.
