OBTAIN AN IP ADDRESS BY USING DHCPBEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS EXERCISE, YOU...

5. Your computer running Windows XP Professional was configured manually for

TCP/IP. You can connect to any host on your own subnet, but you cannot connect

to or even ping any host on a remote subnet. What is the likely cause of the prob-

lem and how would you fix it?

The default gateway might be missing or incorrect. You specify the default gateway in the Inter-net Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box (in the Network And Internet Connections dialog boxunder Network Connections). Other possibilities are that the default gateway is offline or thesubnet mask is incorrect.
