Open a Command Prompt (MS-DOS Prompt) window and complete the following activities. As always, be sure to cite any sources you use in your response.

What does arp do? Type in arp -a. What is in your arp cache? What does this tell you about the path of your pings to Yahoo and Google?

Assume you cannot ping "www.hawaii.com". Type in tracert "www.hawaii.com". What if this trace only got as far a Los Angelos and then quit. What are some possible reasons that packets only got as far as LA?

What if you cannot ping "www.komando.com" by name, but you can ping it by IP address. What might cause this problem? How might you fix this problem?

What if you could not connect to any Web site? You go to command prompt and type in ipconfig /all. The IP address returned starts with 169.254. What does this tell you? How could you try to solve this problem from a command prompt? How could you try to solve this problem using a GUI?
