Help required please

[Ian FG]

I have a small computer test (XP) at work on Monday and I happen to know some of the questions include these:

 

1. Identify common floppy disk problems (pretty obvious I suppose)

 

2. Name and explain purpose of the three hard disk troubleshooting tools

 

3. Explain methods for troubleshooting TCP/IP connections (e.g. ARP, Nbstat, Netstat, Ping, Tracert) (tricky!)

 

4. Describe how Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DCHP) functions. (Isn't this just a server that allocates IP addresses?)

 

5. Explain tools used for troubleshooting an operating system (e.g. Event Viewer, Device Manager, Disk Management) (I understand the basics of Device Manager)

 

6. Identify local and domain user accounts

 

Any help gratefully received.

and can you guaranty there will be no plagiarism going on here lol...

Netstat, Ping, Tracert) (tricky!)

 

 

netstat, tells you what and who is connected to your computer vie your wan or lan, using different abrivs ie,

NETSTAT [-a] [-b] [-e] [-n] [-o] [-p proto] [-r] [-s] [-v] [interval]

 

-a Displays all connections and listening ports.

-b Displays the executable involved in creating each connection or

listening port. In some cases well-known executables host

multiple independent components, and in these cases the

sequence of components involved in creating the connection

or listening port is displayed. In this case the executable

name is in [] at the bottom, on top is the component it called,

and so forth until TCP/IP was reached. Note that this option

can be time-consuming and will fail unless you have sufficient

permissions.

-e Displays Ethernet statistics. This may be combined with the -s

option.

-n Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.

-o Displays the owning process ID associated with each connection.

-p proto Shows connections for the protocol specified by proto; proto

may be any of: TCP, UDP, TCPv6, or UDPv6. If used with the -s

option to display per-protocol statistics, proto may be any of:

IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, or UDPv6.

-r Displays the routing table.

-s Displays per-protocol statistics. By default, statistics are

shown for IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, and UDPv6;

the -p option may be used to specify a subset of the default.

-v When used in conjunction with -b, will display sequence of

components involved in creating the connection or listening

port for all executables.

interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds

between each display. Press CTRL+C to stop redisplaying

statistics. If omitted, netstat will print the current

configuration information once.

 

ping will tell you wether a server you or your system is talking to wants to listen to youo ie,

Pinging msn.com [207.68.172.246] with 32 bytes of data:

 

Request timed out.

Request timed out.

Request timed out.

Request timed out.

 

Ping statistics for 207.68.172.246:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

 

 

msn refused my connection, to use ping you type in ping (server addy goes here) in the command prompt.

 

and tracert gives you the path of the server or computer you are connected to, ie the routing table.

tracert (server or computer addy here) under the command prompt..

 

 

 

no cheating now i want it in your own words lmao.. good luck.
