You$$re assisting with troubleshooting a client$-$server application that doesn$$t seem to be working. From some offices, the client application fails to connect to the server. From an OS command prompt on one of the affected workstation computers, a desktop technician is able to successfully ping the server IP address.

With the information you have so far, which of the following is NOT likely to be a cause of the connection failure?

The office local DNS server is failing to resolve the server name.

The local router$$s route tables do not include an IP route to the server.

The client application is configured with the wrong server address.

A router access control list is blocking the listening TCP port.
