You are working as a network administrator in your organization. A user complains that he is not able to print to a network printer attached to the network. When you try to ping the printer with an IP address it gives a successful reply but the host name ping fails. What could be the most likely cause?
  1. Print server is down.
  2. DHCP server is down.
  3. DNS server is down.
  4. Printer is too far from the user.
Explanation
Answer: C - If an IP address ping is working and the host name ping fails, then the DNS server is down.

Key Takeaway: A classic symptom of a faulty DNS server is when a host name ping fails but the IP address ping works. This confirms that the IP to host name conversion is not working. Flush the DNS servers to fix this problem.
