You have just finished configuring a LAN that uses dynamic IP address assignment. The LAN has 30 computers running Windows 10, six computers running Linux, and four servers. The servers run Windows Server 2019 and include Active Directory, DHCP, and DNS as well as file and print sharing. One of the Linux users calls you and states that he cannot access the Internet from his computer. You ask him for his IP address, and you use ping to see if his computer is responding, which it is. You ask him to try to ping your computer using your computer’s IP address, and he is successful. Next, you ask him to try to ping your computer using your computer name, and he is unsuccessful. He admits that he configured his NIC with static IP address settings instead of leaving DHCP enabled. To your knowledge, no other users are having difficulties reaching the Internet.What do you think the problem might be?
