You have just connected a new computer to your network. The network user static IP addressing. You find that the computer can co
mmunicate with hosts on the same subnet, but not with hosts on a different subnet. No other computers are having a problem. Which of the configuration values would you most likely need to change?
Change the configuration values of the default gateway.
Explanation:
The default gateway is an IP address that receives traffic when the traffic being sent is bound for a destination outside the current network.
Changing the configuration of the default gateway will allow the computer communicate with other hosts on a different subnet.
To change the default gateway, follow the steps below
Click on change adapted settings on Network and Sharing Centre --> Right Click on Wi-Fi or LAN settings --> Click Properties --> Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) --> Click Properties --> Select Use the following IP address ---> Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, and DNS server ---> lastly, click OK.
The default gateway would be needed to change for the configuration value because when plugged to the computer system into other's network. The Internet Protocol addressing for network users that is static. Then, the other user finds the system can connect on a similar subnet with hosts and not with hosts on another subnet and no further computer systems have facing the problem.
By providing additional or alternate equipment, or planning alternate network paths, you ensure availability in the case of device or path failure. Building in redundancy gives you a network failover to avoid an extended outage (AKA, disaster recovery).
