Final answer:
Troubleshooting internet connectivity for the Exec, Officet, and Office2 computers involves assigning a static IP to the Exec computer and verifying DHCP settings for the other two, with further verification using ping.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start troubleshooting and fixing the internet connectivity issues for the three computers mentioned, you can follow these steps:
- Exec computer: Assign a static IP address within the default class C subnet range, making sure it does not conflict with any other devices. Ensure that the subnet mask, default gateway (usually the router's IP), and DNS server addresses are correctly entered. Use the ping command to verify connectivity to the ISP IP address.
- Officet computer: Ensure that it is set to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP. If it is not receiving an IP address, verify the DHCP server settings, and use the ipconfig command to release and renew the IP address. Check connectivity with the ping or tracert command.
- Office2 computer: Similar to Officet, confirm that this computer is also set to obtain an IP address through DHCP, and troubleshoot using the same steps. Verify connectivity to the ISP using the ping command.
Additionally, ensure that the network adapter settings on each computer are correct by accessing the Network and Internet Settings in Windows. If necessary, review the Hyper-V Manager to ensure that virtual network settings are properly configured if these computers are virtual machines on the CORPSERVER.
