Confirmation on Basic Dos Command Questions

[shyy]

Hi everyone,

Can someone take a quick look at my answers to see if they are correct? Thanks


1) What is the command you used to see the path a packet takes to get from your computer to a specific website?

Answer: ping or tracert

2) In order for your computer to NOT have to keep converting an IP Address to this address it stores the recent address lookups locally*. On your computer what command would you use to see the list of all of the IP converted that are stored locally.

Answer: arp -a

3) Your computer is receiving the incorrect Name to IP Address translation.
i. Change the server used for this translation
ii. Identify if the name resolves to multiple IP addresses
iii. Identify if the server responding is authoritative or non-authoritative

Answer: nbtstat

are these correct?

Ping won't show you the path, only the time taken if successful.

Was told #3 is wrong, is it NETSH?

It sounds like nslookup to me
