As a technician of ABCD.com, you are asked to configure a PC that needs to be connected to the Internet. Which two things you will check for FIRST?
  1. Host name of the computer and the IP address of the default gateway
  2. IP address of the DNS server and IP address of the default gateway
  3. IP address of the e-mail server and IP address of the DHCP server
  4. Host name of the computer and IP address of the e-mail server
Explanation
Answer: B - While configuring the IP address on a computer, the first two things to check for are the IP addresses of the default gateway and the DNS server. Email-server, DHCP server, and hostnames are not crucial while configuring the IP address.

Key Takeaway: The default gateway is an ISP-provided device that connects the user to the Internet. It can be a DSL or cable modem. Along with the default gateway details, the user also needs to enter valid DNS server IPs, preferably two.
