You are a network technician for a small corporate network. The network is connected to the internet and uses DHCP for address assignment. The owner of the company in the executive office and a temporary employee in IT Administrator office both report that their workstations can communicate with some computers on the network, but cannot communicate with the internet. You need to diagnose and fix the problem. In this lab, your task is to complete the following:

-Use the following troubleshooting tools to diagnose the problem in the network:
-the ping, ipconfig, or tracert command utility
-the network and sharing center in the windows 10 or windows server 2016 operating system
-the DHCP server console in the windows server 2016 operating system

Explanation:

The first thing that you should do would be to ping the computer in the Networking Closet, if this fails then the next step would be to ping the service provider. If both of these pings fail it is most likely because the configuration of the IP addresses are configured wrong. In this case use the command prompt to type in the following

ipconfig /all

this will open up the entire configuration info. If the problem is truly the configuration then your DNS address should show up as not configured. This can happen when a DHCP is enabled. Check if DHCP is enabled, if so then you would need to type the following into the command prompt

ipconfig /renew

This will renew the ip address information from the DHCP server and should create the proper DNS configuration as well and solve the issue.
