Users on your network complain that they cannot access the Internet. You verify that your NAT server is up and that NAT is running properly. You run the ipconfig command on one of the client computers and receive an APIPA address.

You log on to the DHCP server and discover that the DHCP service has stopped. You restart the DHCP service. Users still cannot connect to the Internet. You need to enable the client computers to connect to the Internet quickly. What should you do?
  1. Run the netstat command on each client computer.
  2. Instruct the users to wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to lease new IP addresses to the client computers.
  3. Install a DHCP relay agent on the network.
  4. Run the ipconfig /release command and then the ipconfig /renew command on each client computer.
Explanation
Answer - B - You should instruct the users to wait a few minutes for the DHCP server to lease new IP addresses to the client computers.

Key Takeaway: The DHCP service was down hence the users could not receive an IP address and hence the APIPA. Now that the DHCP service is restarted, users must wait for the DHCP clients to attempt to locate the DHCP server again. This usually occurs at an interval of 5 minutes.
