Question

Your co-worker who went to UCLA tells you that DHCP is not enabled at your new job, so you should just use the same IP address that you have at home to connect to the internet. He told you it should work because your computer is communicating with a unique public IP address at home, so no other computer in the world would have it. When you try this, your computer does not have internet access. Give two reasons why?

Answer 1

1. internet connection is not enabled on the computer.

2. The DHCP server in the company is not enabled as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a user to access the internet, the computer must have a public IP address that is either assigned to it by a service provider or dynamically from the DHCP server in the computer. In the case of the former, the user just needs to enable the internet connection to obtain the unique IP address.

If the DHCP server or the internet connection is not enabled, the user would not have access to the internet.
