To test that Internet_PCs can reach the Internet
The easiest way to access the Internet is with an Internet browser. However, if that doesn’t work its best to do a traceroute to see at what point the problem is. This can help determine if it is a networking problem such as cabling, or if its an access problem such as this PC not having Internet access.
1. Select any PC on the local network that is supposed to have Internet access, such as Admin.
2. On the Admin PC, open an Internet browser and attempt to access a website on the Internet
such as http://www.fortinet.com.
If this is successful, this PC has Internet access.
3. If step
2 was not successful, at the command prompt on the PC enter
traceroute 22.11.22.33.
The output from this command should appear similar to:
