Question

I am trying to solve this question:

"You are working on a school project at the library when your friend Jane taps you on the shoulder. She cannot seem to connect to a certain website that she needs for her class. Fortunately, you know enough about Windows and networking to help troubleshoot the problem. You open a Windows command prompt and ......"

The dots at the end of the story indicates that I need to continue the story. However, I cannot finish it. I need to explain the various commands I would use to help Jane. It must include at least five different commands or tools to identify and attempt to fix the problem.

Answer 1

1) tracert <website name> or <ip>
     this will find the route of the website that from which router to which router the site is going on or not allowed by which router or firewall stops it will be identified

2) ping <website name> or <ip>
checks that the is site available or reachable or not or actually site is down

3) nslookup <website name> or <ip>
finds the DNS entry of the website to find the related IP address of the website if it is wrongly configured or currupted or modified by some hackers then site will also not reach to the right site

4) Clear browsing data and cache from the browser
some times old cookies values are expired with time travel so it need to clear it up manually as browser could not be able to update

5) Renew and Flush DNS using ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /renew
if you are running with DHCP router then some of the person has taken manually IP address which creates conflict in network so router could not idetify that which one is right and authenticated user.
