  6. WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service)
  7. IP proxies
  8. Ethernet hardware options
21
Q

How does network service order affect network connectivity?

A

The network service order list is used to determine the primary network service interface if more than one service is active. All network traffic that isn’t better handled through a local connection is sent to the primary network service interface. So in most cases, all WAN traffic, internet traffic, and DNS resolutions are sent through the primary network service interface.

22
Q

What is the first thing to check when troubleshooting a network issue?

A

The network service list. It is updated dynamically as new services become active or as active services become disconnected.

23
Q

Where is the network traffic that isn’t being handled through a local connection sent?

A

To the primary network service interface.

24
Q

How do you reorder the network service order?

A

By dragging them into the order you prefer.

25
Q
