What is the likely cause?

- The switch to switch connection must be configured as an access port to permit access to VLAN 10 on S3.
- The new PC is on a different subnet so Fa0/2 on S3 must be configured as a trunk port.
- PC4 must use the same subnet as PC1.
- A single VLAN cannot span multiple switches.
