A technician is resolving an issue where a computer is unable to connect to the Internet using a wireless access point. The computer is able to transfer files locally to other machines, but cannot successfully reach the Internet. When the technician examines the IP information, the IP address of the machine is 192.168.1.100/24 with a default gateway of 192.168.1.1/24. Which of the following has occurred?
The computer is using an invalid IP address.
The computer is not using a private IP address.
The gateway is not routing to a public IP address
The gateway and the computer are not on the same network.
Networking 101 questions shouldn't be on the CEH....the correct answer is that the gateway address is invalid. Edit: why invaid? it is valid indid. EDIT: It is NOT valid as a gateway IP. The .0 and .255 addresses are reserved for special functions and RFC 923 defines is as meaning 'the network' rather than 'a host on the network with the address ending in 0.' I think the confusion is around saying the IP and gateway are 'on the 192.168.1.0/24' meaning, they are in that subnet but doesn't define what they are. I changed the wording to reflect an IP config that is valid but not getting to the outside world.
