CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 130

A technician receives a ticket indicating the user cannot resolve external web pages. However, specific IP addresses are working. Which of the following does the technician MOST likely need to change on the workstation to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Default gateway
• B. Host address
• C. Name server
• D. Subnet mask

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the inability to resolve external web pages often indicates an issue with the DNS settings, which are managed by the name server. The other options, such as default gateway, host address, and subnet mask, are less likely to be the cause since they would affect connectivity differently.
