1. Interviewer: Tell me what is a domain name resolution?

-DNS mapping an IP address to a host name for example 98.139.183.24 is the IP address for one of Yahoo’s servers
2. Interviewer: How do you reserve an IP address?
-Using a DHCP server
3. Interviewer: If you were troubleshooting a computer and you couldn’t get to the internet by the name, for example, www.yahoo.com, what steps would you take?
-I would try to first ping it by name, by opening a command prompt in Windows. I would go to —Start—-Run—and type cmd.
When the command prompt opens I would type: ping yahoo.com
If I get replies then I would think there is some sort of name resolution problem or in other words a DNS issue.
Interviewer: OK so suppose you don’t get any replies you just get time outs, now what would you do?
-Well I would then see if the network cable is plugged in, or if the wifi is turned on
Interviewer: OK so suppose the network cable is plugged into the computer, now what?
-I would check to see if there is a link light, if not I would unplug and replug the network cable. Then retest.
Interviewer: OK now suppose there is a link light now what?
-I would start thinking there might be an issue with the internet and if possible check other computers.
Interviewer: OK no one else is having the problem
-In that case I would investigate settings IP settings and check whether the user in fact has an IP address assigned, if drivers are loaded for the Network Interface Card. In fact I might just try a reboot of the computer.
-Or I might just try to release and renew the IP address. By going to Start—Run—typing in CMD, next ty ping in at the command prompt:
ipconfig/release
then
ipconfig/renew
4. Interviewer: How would you deal with an irate customer?
-Well in my mind customer service is always number one. I would never would take it personally first next I would say something like:
“Im so sorry sir or madam, that you are experiencing this issue, but I will do everything in my power to resolve your issue.”
5. Interviewer: Can you work in loud places?
-The answer here is up to you. Most likely a help desk area will be loud and noisy and therefore the interviewer is not asking you this to just be nice but actually finding out if you can handle a noisy area and therefore deal with the noise.
