A technician runs `ipconfig /all` on a Windows PC and sees the following output for the Ethernet adapter: IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.50, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1, DHCP Enabled: Yes, DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1. The user can ping the gateway but cannot reach a server at 192.168.2.10. What is the most likely issue?

The DHCP server address is misconfigured; it should be different from the default gateway.

The PC's IP address is in the wrong subnet; it should be in the 192.168.2.0/24 range.

The PC has a valid IP configuration, but the destination server or an intermediate router is unreachable or down.

The default gateway is correct, but the subnet mask is wrong, preventing communication with the remote subnet.

A user reports that they can access websites by IP address but not by domain name. You verify the IP configuration on their Windows PC and see the DNS server is set to 192.168.1.1. What is the most likely cause?

The client's hosts file is blocking the domain.

The default gateway is misconfigured.

The DNS server at 192.168.1.1 is not resolving names correctly.

A Windows 10 user reports intermittent connectivity. You run `ipconfig /all` and see the IP address 169.254.12.34 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and no default gateway. What is the most likely cause?

The DHCP server is unreachable and the client has an APIPA address.

The client has a static IP address that is misconfigured.

The default gateway is set to an incorrect IP address.

The DNS server is not responding to queries.

A macOS administrator needs to view the DNS server addresses currently configured for a specific network service (e.g., Wi-Fi). Which command-line tool can display this information?

networksetup -getdnsservers Wi-Fi

A macOS user is connected to Wi-Fi but cannot access the internet. You open System Preferences > Network and see that the Wi-Fi connection has an IP address of 169.254.8.14 and a router field that is blank. What is the most likely cause?

The DNS settings are incorrect; the Mac cannot resolve domain names.

The Mac failed to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.

The Wi-Fi hardware is faulty and needs replacement.

The Wi-Fi network is using a static IP that is misconfigured.
