Checking IP stats isn't really about name resolution, right?

Wait, can you really use TRACERT for this? Sounds odd.

I vaguely remember something about checking IP statistics, but it seems more related to network performance than verifying name resolution.

I feel like option C is more about connectivity than name resolution. We need to confirm the name is resolving to the correct IP.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember practicing with TRACERT, but I can't recall if it helps with name resolution specifically.

I think option B is the right choice because pinging by computer name tests name resolution directly, right?

I remember learning that traceroute can be used to check name resolution by seeing if the hostnames are resolving correctly along the path. That might be a good approach to try here.

Wait, what's the difference between pinging by name and pinging by IP? I'm a little confused on how that verifies name resolution.

Okay, let's see. Pinging the source host by name or IP address should test if name resolution is working properly, right? That seems like the easiest way to approach this.

Good point, Lisa. Checking the IP statistics on the file server doesn't seem directly relevant to verifying name resolution, so I think I'll rule that out.

Clearly, the answer is C. Pinging the source host with its IP address. It's the equivalent of using a map to find your way - simple, effective, and gets the job done.
