I am so lost on this question.

| 50% say A. 50% say D. I have changed the question a bit so as not to do any copyright infringments. My confusion is that if I chose A., than one does not have ICS. Cannot ICS and home intranet exist at the same time???
Your desktop Computer has Windows 2000 Professional. You create a dial-up connection to the Internet. You configure internet connection sharing. After you configure the connection, you cannot see or connect to any shared resources on your local home network. You want your computer to
be able to connect to shared resources.
What is the answer?
A. Configure the dial-up connection to disable shared access.
B. Configure the dial-up connection to disable on-demand dialing.
C. Disable data encryption in the new dial-up connection.
D. Use the ipconfig command to release and renew your network TCP/P address.
AS many thoughts as possible or one absolute good one to clear this one up in my head.
Thanks ahead of time | |

| Hi stevelsd,
ICS has its own DHCP allocator, which can potentially cause some problems. If you are going to use ICS you can not disable the DHCP allocator or modify the range of private IP addresses that are handed out by the ICS DHCP allocator.
All computers on your network that access the Internet by means of Internet Connection Sharing must reconfigure their TCP/IP configurations to use DHCP.
When you enable ICS on the system that is going to be connected to the Internet a dialog box is displayed, indicating that the intranet's connection's IP address is set to 192.168.0.1, and warns that connectivity with other computers on the network might be lost.
Each computer in the network is then reassigned an IP address from the reserved IP address range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. As with the ICS-enabled computer, the change in IP address might cause you to lose connectivity with other computers in the network that use static addressing.
The answer is definitely "D". ipconfig /release followed by an ipconfig /renew will allow the client to release and then recieve an ip address from the ICS DHCP allocator and if the other systems have been configured correctly, they will also receive the proper IP addresses to allow them to share the Internet connection and "see" each other on the internal network to share resurces.
To me, "A" makes absolutely no sense, with "B" and "C" making even less sense.
HTH! | |

| Thank you people! I would have definitely gotten it wrong. I have a 5 machine domain at the home that I work with for all my experiments. This was one of the few things, (ICS) that I have not setup. I was prepared to set a few of the machines up this weekend to play with it but now you have answered my question perfectly. I just could not understand why one would disable ICS just to get their connectivity back yet this was the majority answer out on the NET. I knew about the DHCP and DNS built into ICS (which is why I hesitated - my domain works flawlessly with AD and all the fixings after many technet nights and format/reloads). Thanks to all. You people are rocket scientists. I take my 70-240 29th of Nov.

| Kind of off key but ties in to spid's comment about making sense - keep this in mind - there are 3 types of answers on Microsoft cert tests : 1.The wrong answer 2. The right answer 3. The Microsoft answer. What may seem totally logical and correct in the "real world" is absolutely wrong in the Microsoft world. There will be some questions that have answers that you will say "there's no way in hell i'd do it like that" but it's Microsoft preferred method so in their isolated "ideal system" it is correct. Oh well, life goes on and I continue to design and develop even if it isn't always the Microsoft way. |
