Troubleshooting in Paradise - FILESERVER issues

Hello,

I am doing the Troubleshooting in paradise challenge in the foundations of cybersecurity course I manged to fix linux-A and linux-B so they can both ping to 8.8.8.8 and google.com linux-A can ping to Linux-B and Browser-B but with 0% packet loss. I am trying to set up and smb server called FILESERVER to troubleshoot smb share connectivity using dns however linux-A still doesn’t recognize the server… I appreciate the help.

The point of the lab is to fix issues on Linux-A, Linux-B and Browser-B as they have intentionally broken network configurations. There is also a DNS issue on the DNS server to fix (an A record is missing). SMB is not part of the challenge :slight_smile:

Is this something you are trying to fix above and beyond the challenge requirements?

In the Network Troubleshooting Basics lab, Linux-B (10.10.10.10) is configured to reach FILESERVER by adding a HOSTS file entry for FILESERVER. The 10.10.10.0/24 network does not use 192.168.1.5 for DNS.

I’m trying to ping the FILESERVER on the network troubleshooting basics. Anyone know what to do?
