Question

you administer a network with windows server 2016, unix servers, and windows 10 professional, windows 8, and macintosh clients. a windows 8 computer user calls you one day and says that he is unable to access resources on the network. you type ipconfig on the user's computer and receive the following output:

Answer 1

Unavailable DHCP Server

Step-by-step explanation:

If a Windows 8 client computer is configured to use DHCP and can't locate one to receive IP addressing information, it assigns itself an IP address from the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) range of IP addresses. APIPA addresses include IP addresses from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.254 and are reserved for this purpose. A lit link light on your NIC indicates a connection to the network.
