My money's on C. Who needs DNS these days anyway? We should just use IP addresses for everything. #TotallyNotANetworkAdmin

This is too easy. It's obviously C. I'm surprised they even included the other options. DNS is the culprit here.

Yeah, DNS entry not available for the host name is the most likely cause.

D, all the way. The web server is probably down for maintenance or something. That's the most likely cause.

It's possible, but usually if the server is offline, you would get a different error message. So, I still think the DNS entry not being available is the most likely cause.

I'm going with B. The WINS server is probably not configured correctly. That's a classic networking problem.

But what if the site's Web server is offline? Could that also be a possible cause?

I agree with Toi, it makes sense because the browser needs the DNS entry to resolve the host name to an IP address.

The answer has to be C. If the IP address works but the domain name doesn't, it's clearly a DNS issue.

I agree, the DNS entry for the host name must be missing.
