Consider the following scenario:
Jason from the designer group submitted a ticket with your companies IT Help Desk stating that he could no longer access the Internet. Whenever he types a website name into his web browser, he gets an error stating that the name can't be resolved. The helpdesk is asking for your help in troubleshooting the issue.
Prepare a 2-page memo to the helpdesk. Include:
- Start with identifying what protocol(s) are causing the problem.
- What standard TCP/IP protocol is responsible for telling a computer what addresses and servers it should use to connect to the network?
- What application protocol maps TCP/IP addresses to names?
- Be sure to cover your solution recommendation, including protocol maps and TCP/IP addresses.
- Do you think that the problem is on the user end or somewhere else? How would you determine that?
- Conclude with evidence to back up your recommendation and why you recommended what you did.
