CompTIA A+ demo scenario

This is an original sample format preview. It is not pulled from the live question bank.

A workstation can open websites by IP address but not by domain name. Other network access works. What should the technician check first?

A. DNS client settings and resolver reachability
B. The monitor refresh rate
C. The printer fuser assembly
D. The laptop battery cycle count
Show answer and rationale

Answer: A

Successful IP connectivity with failed name resolution points first to DNS settings, resolver reachability, or DNS records.
