dear greater cisco intellect,
i've been doin' some practice exams, and am havin' problems understanding the answer to one of them:
A user on your network indicated that he/she cannot reach a remote site. Following info: is given:
local PC 10.0.4.36/24 default gateway 10.0.4.1 remote server 10.0.6.251/24
from the remote site, the following was done:
ping 127.0.0.1 - unsuccessful ping 10.0.4.36 - unsuccessful ping 10.0.4.1 - unsuccessful ping 10.0.6.251 - unsuccessful
so the what's the problem?
well the answer says that tcp/ip in not installed. and that's the reason. but i'm thinkin' it's because the remote physical layer is at fault. i mean if you try to ping the nic card (127.0.0.1) and are unsuccessful...wouldn't that mean the the nic card is not workin'. and therefore, we have a physical layer problem?
just wonderin' if i could get some insight on this one.
