Resolving Physical Connectivity Issues
• Malfunctioning cables, • Network interface cards (NICs),• Modems, • Hubs, or wireless access
points, or • Incorrect configuration of these
devices.
NetTech Solutions
Checking Connections
• The Ethernet cable to the hub• The Ethernet cables from the hub to
other computers• The physical connections to and
from routers and firewalls• The phone line to the phone jack• The modem, hub, and other devices
that need power to the wall jack• The universal serial bus (USB) or
FireWire cable

Resolving Common Internet Connectivity Calls
• Table 8-1– Page 8-12
NetTech Solutions
Troubleshooting Cable and DSL Connections
• Connectivity problems include:– My dial-up modem keeps trying to
dial out.– My Internet connection is
unavailable.– I try to connect, but nothing
happens at all.– My Internet connection is slow.– I think I am getting interference.
Could something be causing that?

Resolving Common Internet Connectivity Calls
• Table 8-2– Page 8-13
NetTech Solutions
Troubleshooting Workgroup Connections
• A few computers, each of which is connected to a hub, router, or switch through an Ethernet cable or wirelessly, for the purpose of sharing files in a small office or a home.

NetTech Solutions
Troubleshooting Domain Connections
• Note – A computer running Windows XP
Home Edition cannot join a domain.
NetTech Solutions
Note
• Before performing any of the following troubleshooting techniques,– verify that physical connections are solid, – that the NIC has a green light indicating
that it is functional (if the NIC has diagnostic LEDs), and
– that switches, routers, and other devices are working properly and are available.

• Page 8-20• Caution
– If the computer is not configured with the correct DNS server addresses (or cannot contact the DNS servers), you will not be able to change the computer’s membership.

Network Diagnostics
NetTech Solutions
Network Connections
• DHCP• Static• APIPA
NetTech Solutions
Exam Tip
• On the exam, you will often be shown IP addressing information for use in troubleshooting a networking problem.
• Remember the range of IP addresses used by APIPA.
• If you see that a computer has an IP address starting with 169.254, it is a dead giveaway that a DHCP server is not being reached.
• This could happen because of a networking problem or a DHCP issue.

Resolving Complex Networking Issues
• OSI Model• TCP/IP Tools work at the Network
layer– Ping
• Loopback• Local Address• Default Gateway• Remote Address
– IPCONFIG– Rules About TCP/IP Addressing

IP Address Classes
Address Class
RangeDefault Subnet Mask
Networks/Nodes
Class A1.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
255.0.0.0126 networks of up to 16,777,214 nodes each
Class B128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
255.255.0.016,382 networks of up to 65,534 nodes each
Class C192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
255.255.255.02,097,150 networks of up to 254 nodes each
Class D224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
NoneAll members of the multicast session share the same IP address
Class E240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
NoneStrictly for research and experimentation purposes

Using Net View
NetTech Solutions
If the Net View command fails
• Check the following:– The computer name in the
System Properties dialog box.– The gateway or router address in
the TCP/IP Properties dialog box.
– The gateway or router’s status.– The remote computer is running
the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks Service.

• Use Network Troubleshooting Tools– Page 8-36
NetTech Solutions
Resolving Name-Resolution Issues
• DNS– Internet Queries rely on DNS– HOST file is used for DNS
• WINS– NetBIOS Queries and browsing
rely on WINS– LMHOST.SAM file is used for
WINS

Troubleshooting Internet Connection Sharing
• Configure Internet Connection Sharing.
• Identify the limitations of ICS.• Enable ICS
NetTech Solutions
Configuring Internet Connection Sharing
• ICS Limitations– Must have Two NICs– On XP only supports 10 user
connections– Limited to 192.168.0.0 network– Does not have IP address conflict
detection– ICS must be enabled from the dial-up,
virtual private network (VPN), broadband, or other connection to the Internet.
– Should not be used with DHCP, DNS, or Gateways
