Objective 4.1: Identify and Troubleshoot
Name
Resolution Problems
Name resolution is the process that allows network and Internet users to access resources by their name instead of their Internet Protocol (IP) address. The name used might be (among other things) a computer name, server name, printer name, or fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Without name resolution, users would be forced to remember the IP addresses of each resource on the network or on the Internet.
As a DST, you must be able to determine when a lack of connectivity is the result of name resolution issues. You should be able to use the tools in Windows XP to configure and troubleshoot name resolution problems with client computers.

The business has eight computers that are connected together through a combination Ethernet router and switch, which also acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and provides access to the Internet. Each computer is connected directly to the Internet through the router, and all computers should retrieve all TCP/IP addressing information automatically. One of the users complains that although he can access other computers on the network, he cannot access any Internet websites or retrieve e-mail from an Internet server. The other computers on the network can access Internet websites and retrieve e-mail. You verify that the computer in question does not reach any websites when you type in the URL. However, you can get to websites when you type in the actual IP address. Also, you can successfully retrieve e-mail from the mail server if you configure Outlook Express to use the IP address of the mail server instead of its name. You use the ipconfig /all command on each computer and determine that the computer that cannot access
