ChApTEr 12 : Network Troubleshooting Methodology 626 What is the difference between TCP and UDP if they both operate Q: at the transport layer? Although both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols and A: provide the same basic function, TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, which means a session is established before data is transmitted, and acknowledgments are sent back to the send- ing computer to verify that the data did arrive and was accurate and complete. UDP is connectionless; no session or one-to-one connection is established prior to data transmission. This makes UDP the faster of the two, while TCP is the more reliable. SElF TEST You are a network consultant specializing in supporting Small 1. Office Home Office (SOHO) networks. One of your clients maintains an office consisting of three workstations configured in a peer-to-peer workgroup. This office does not have a server computer at this time. One of the workstations, \\OFFICE1, has an IP address of 192.168.1.100 and has a file share that the other three workstations are able to access using the follow- ing syntax: \\OFFICE1\share. Your client has called you in to troubleshoot a new workstation that they have recently installed that is unable to access this share. When you arrive on-site, you find that the workstation is able to ping OFFICE1 by its IP address, but not by its NetBIOS name. What is the best way for you to allow the new workstation to access the file share located on OFFICE1? A. Upgrade OFFICE1 to Windows 2003 server and configure the WINS Server service. B. Add an entry to the lmhosts file on the new workstation. C. Add an entry to the findhosts file on the new workstation. D. Upgrade OFFICE1 to Windows 2003 server and configure the DNS service. You are troubleshooting network connectivity issues on a network 2. that is running Windows servers and clients. Users are reporting that they are unable to send e-mail, though they have been receiving messages from external users without a problem. During your troubleshooting, you see the configuration item on the Windows server that is shown in Figure 12.8. Based on this information, how can you correct the issue that this office is reporting? Self Test 627 A. Install and configure the POP3 service. B. Change the startup type of the SNMP Trap Service to Automatic. C. Start the SMTP service. D. Start the Routing and Remote Access Service. FIGurE 12.8 Services Console. You are a network consultant and have been called in to 3. troubleshoot a connectivity issue on a UNIX network.

A. ping B. tracert C. pathping D. traceroute E. nslookup F. dig 4. You are the network administrator for a network that employs a Windows 2003 server and 30 Windows XP Professional workstations. The Windows 2003 server runs the DHCP service to provide TCP/IP configuration information to the Windows XP clients. You receive a call from one of your users stating that he ChApTEr 12 : Network Troubleshooting Methodology 628 is unable to browse any internal network resources or Internet Web sites. Other users on the same subnet are able to browse without difficulty. You run the ipconfig command on the problem workstation and see the following output: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : IBM-A38375FF22E Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1E-25-1A-D3-5A Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 169.254.1.96 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Tuesday, March 29, 2005 1:00:10 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Wednesday, March 30, 2005 1:00:10 PM Based on this output, why is this workstation unable to browse any network resources? A. The default gateway is unavailable. B. The workstation could not contact a DHCP server. C. The workstation is configured with the incorrect default gateway. D. The workstation’s DHCP lease has expired. Self Test 629 You are the network administrator for a sales office. Until now, 5. this has been a small peer-to-peer network consisting of five Windows XP workstations using lmhosts files on each workstation to perform name resolution. The sales force has recently expanded significantly, requiring you to purchase a Windows Server 2003 server and 15 additional workstations. You have encountered numerous troubleshooting situations where a workstation’s lmhosts file was missing or out of date, preventing name resolution from taking place. How can you improve the name resolution process for your network? A. Install the DNS service on the Windows 2003 server. B. Install the WINS service on the Windows 2003 server. C. Install the DHCP service on the Windows 2003 server. D. Install the DNS service on each Windows XP workstation. You are the network administrator for a large pharmaceutical compa-6. ny that has more than 1,000 workstations. To simplify TCP/IP con- figuration for these numerous clients, you installed a DHCP server over a year ago to automatically configure your clients with an IP address, as well as the following common configuration information: A. Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 B. Default Gateway: 172.16.0.1 C. DNS Servers: 172.16.0.100 D. 172.16.0.101 As part of a recent network redesign, you had to change the default gate- way used by your clients to a different IP address: 172.16.1.1. You made the necessary change on the DHCP server, and most of your clients were updated automatically. After you make this change, you receive a call from one user who no longer is able to browse the Internet. You examine the TCP/IP configuration of her LAN connection (Figure 12.9). How can you configure this workstation with the correct default gateway information? (Each choice represents a complete solution. Choose two.) A. Delete the manually configured information and select Obtain an IP address automatically. B. Run ipconfig /renew from the command prompt. C. Manually update the IP address of the default gateway. D. Run ipconfig /release from the command prompt.
