A remote employee connects a Windows 11 laptop to a home Wi-Fi network. The laptop successfully receives a local IP address from the home router via DHCP, and the user can reach public websites using raw IPv4 addresses (such as http://1.1.1.1). However, web browsing fails when entering standard web domain names. Inspection of the Wi-Fi network adapter IPv4 properties reveals that static DNS server addresses from the corporate office are still configured. Which configuration change in the TCP/IPv4 properties will resolve the issue and allow the client to resolve domain names dynamically?
- AManually enter the home router's IPv4 address into the Default Gateway field while keeping the static DNS entries.
- BRun the ipconfig /flushdns command from an elevated command prompt to release the current DHCP IP lease.
- Select 'Obtain DNS server address automatically' in the adapter IPv4 properties.Cevap
- DChange the Network Profile type from Public network to Private network in Windows Settings.
Cevap
Select 'Obtain DNS server address automatically' in the adapter IPv4 properties.
Selecting 'Obtain DNS server address automatically' allows the client network adapter to receive functional local DNS server information directly from the local DHCP server, restoring domain name resolution without affecting dynamic IP address assignment.
