When testing a new web server, a network administrator cannot access the home page when the server name is entered into a web browser on a PC. Pings to both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the server are successful. What could be the problem?

  • DNS is not resolving the server name to an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
  • ARP is not discovering the MAC address of the server.
  • DHCP has not assigned an IPv4 or IPv6 address to the server.
  • An FTP client must be installed on the PC.

Explanation: Given that pings to the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of the server are successful then ARP and IP address assignments to both the server and the PC are working. Web services use HTTP, so an FTP client is not required on the PC.
