You have a customer who has asked you to create a small network of three Windows XP computers for his home office. All of the computers will need to have their network addressing information configured manually. Of the following, what addressing information can you configure for the computer on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties box? (Choose three.)
A. The computer’s IP address
B. The address of the default gateway
C. The address of the preferred DHCP server
D. The address of the preferred DNS server
Solution
A, B, and D. On the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties box, if you select Use the following IP Address, you can manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address, which is the address of the router or broadband modem that lets the computer connect outside the local network. If you select Use the following DNS Server Addresses, you can manually enter the IP addresses for the preferred DNS server and the alternate DNS server. DNS servers provide hostname–to–IP address translation, so when you type www.google.com in your web browser’s address bar, DNS can look up the IP address for Google.com and resolve the two.
