CompTIA Exam 220-1101 Topic 5 Question 43 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1101 exam
Question #: 43
Topic #: 5
[All 220-1101 Questions]

Some users are unable to access resources on the file server. A technician reviews the server network information and finds the following settings:

Which of the following is the most likely explanation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Given the network information for the server ''InternalToolCentral'' with an IP address of ''192.130.230.5'' and a subnet mask of ''255.255.255.0'', the gateway address should be within the same network range. However, the gateway address is listed as ''192.130.230.1'', which is correct and within the same subnet. Therefore, the issue is not with the gateway settings.

The DNS servers are listed as ''8.8.8.8'' and ''4.2.2.1'', which are public DNS servers and should be able to resolve domain names correctly if they are reachable.

The open ports listed include 25 (SMTP), 80 (HTTP), 110 (POP3), 443 (HTTPS), and 3306 (MySQL), which are standard ports for their respective services.

Considering the provided options and the network settings, the most likely explanation for users being unable to access resources on the file server is: A. Applicable ports have been closed during routine hardening. This could prevent users from connecting to the necessary services on the file server.


Networking best practices and troubleshooting steps as covered in the CompTIA A+ certification materials.

Understanding of network configurations and services related to file server accessibility.

Applicable ports being closed during hardening? That's like trying to lock the door after the thief has already made off with the valuables. Not very helpful in this situation.

Haha, the server losing power during a storm and not resuming operation? That's a classic IT problem right there. Someone needs to invest in a better backup power system!

The route being removed from the border router sounds like the most plausible explanation to me. Gotta love those pesky border routers!

It's always something with those routers, they can be so finicky.

Maybe we should check with the network administrator to see if the route was accidentally removed.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be that the route was removed from the border router.

I agree with Lauran. It makes sense that incorrect gateway settings could cause this issue.

The server gateway settings are definitely incorrect. I've seen this issue before and it's usually related to network configuration issues.
