While testing access to Server A on a remote subnet, a storage administrator is unable to connect from their workstation. The administrator is only able to connect to Server B which resides on the sam

While firewall rules can block access, the coworker's ability to access Server A implies that Server A's firewall is likely configured correctly, making a firewall rule on the administrator's workstation less likely if local access works.

A faulty network cable would typically prevent *any* network access from the workstation, including to Server B on the same subnet, which contradicts the problem statement.

If the administrator can reach servers on the local subnet but not a remote one, and a coworker on the same subnet *can* reach the remote server, it strongly suggests a network configuration issue specific to the administrator's workstation, such as a misconfigured VLAN on their network port which would prevent communication with devices on other subnets or segment the workstation incorrectly.

An incorrect IP address on the administrator's workstation would likely prevent all network access, or at least access to Server B on the same subnet, if it were outside the correct range.
