SK0-005 Question #654: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: Change the default gateway to 192.168.10.65.. In a /26 subnet (192.168.10.64–192.168.10.127), the first usable IP for a gateway is 192.168.10.65. Using 192.168.10.64 as the gateway is incorrect because it is the network address. Changing the gateway to 192.168.10.65 will allow proper network routing.
