SK0-005 · Question #277

A newly installed server is accessible to local users, but remote users are unable to connect. Which of the following is MOST likely misconfigured?

The correct answer is B. The default gateway. This is the most likely misconfigured setting because the default gateway is the router that connects the local network to other networks. If the default gateway is incorrect, the server will not be able to communicate with remote users or devices outside its own subnet.
