Exam 220-1001 topic 1 question 177 discussion

answer is b is good because she selected the work profile in this case she should be able to access work resources but she's not because she is probably connected to a wrong wireless network.

Tricky, “… connects it to a wireless network” it implies there is more than one wireless network. (My opinion B)

He was able to access the internet, i think the answer is Firewall

home, private or public aren't "networks" are "network profiles" a network is a specific lan with a specific name, network profiles are settings dedicated. So if he choose work instead of home or public the answer is firewall cause each profile can have different settings, you can access internet but not some resources, like files and printers. Also you can't access to a "wrong network" cause you have to put credential...ssid name and wpa2 passwords, if you try to access a wrong network you just can't authenticate

The answer is B. What happens when you connect to a new network? It prompts you to select whether is is home, work, etc. User connected to the wrong network and was able to access Internet but not network resources because user is not connected to the correct network.

Like michael_owen stated, a Firewall would not be blocking access to the network resources unless they had specific protocols implemented that would disable employees from accessing Gmail/Outlook/Web Pages, etc however that is very unlikely. The question is more stating that he can connect to the network, but not the network resources. Well, public, home, and work will all provide access to the Internet. But only one will provide access to that specific network's resources. Therefore, he is not connected to the correct network.

This is the thing with CompTIA they have two possible answers but sometimes is the obvious instead of the more technical. In real world you will find a guest and a corporate network (wifi/Ethernet). the guest wifi in this case, is an isolated network and its main purpose is to provide connectivity to Internet(outside resources). The private network or wifi network will give access to the internet and also internal services (intranet) that are only exclusive to the corporation. ---EX: access to databases of the corporation/company. here the firewall will block Ip addresses/MAC addresses/protocols that are not associated with the corporation. but it will not prevent the user from accessing outside resources like Gmail/Outlook/web pages. etc!

its for sure the firewall if the user is already on the network.

If he was connected to the wrong network then he should not be accessing the Internet...for that reason I think its C as tge firewall is stopping him from accessing the resource
