Your company's main office is in Paris with four branch offices in London, Amsterdam, Zurich, and Brussels. The network is configured as shown in the image.

Internet access is provided by a NAT server located in the Amsterdam office. The IP address of the NAT server is 192.168.6.180.

Users in the Paris office report that they cannot connect to the Internet. Users in the Brussels office report that they can successfully connect to the Internet. After running a command prompt on a computer in the Paris office, what should you do to find out the point of communication failure?
  1. Run the nslookup 192.168.6.180 command.
  2. Run the pathping 192.168.6.180 command.
  3. Run the net view \\192.168.6.180 command.
  4. Run the tracert 192.168.6.180 command.
Explanation
Answer - B - You should run the pathping 192.168.6.180 command to find out the point of communication failure.

Key Takeaway: The PathPing tool combines features of Ping and Tracert with some more additional information. It sends packets to each router on the way to a final destination over a period of time, and then it computes results based on the packets returned from each hop. It shows the degree of packet loss at any given router or link, so you can pinpoint which routers or links might be causing network problems.
