Explanation
The fact that Joe can reach internal sites but not the Internet indicates the problem lies at or beyond the default gateway - somewhere along the path between the local network and the Internet. TRACERT (traceroute) maps the hop-by-hop path packets take to a destination and reports where they stop responding, pinpointing the exact network node that is failing or dropping packets. NETSTAT (B) displays current active connections and listening ports, which won't identify a routing failure. IPCONFIG (C) shows the local IP configuration, which appears correct since internal access works. NSLOOKUP (D) tests DNS name resolution; while a DNS failure could cause similar symptoms, TRACERT provides broader diagnostic coverage of the entire path.
