8.8.4.4Refer to the exhibit. The user is unable to browse the internet using domain names but can access websites by IP address. Which configuration is most likely incorrect?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse DNS failure with general connectivity issues, but the ability to browse by IP address proves that routing and IP configuration are correct, isolating the problem to DNS server settings.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
DNS server addresses
The user can access websites by IP address but not by domain name, which indicates that DNS resolution is failing. The DNS server addresses configuration is most likely incorrect, as the client cannot translate domain names to IP addresses without a valid DNS server. This is a classic symptom of a misconfigured or missing DNS server setting.
