I believe you're missing a layer 3 device, be it a layer 3 switch or a router. At least I don't see one, that is.

Hi

Well, if all computers, included servers are in the same subnet things should work. But error you have refer to DNS or name resolution problem. Advice, use a vlans and layer 3 router. For more detail I should have more input.

Actually, your network operates fine. IPv4 is running just fine and all the components are communicating with each other.

The reason why the host name cannot be resolved is the host computers need to be configured with the IP address of the DNS server to resolve domain names to IP addresses. Once that is fixed, then you'll be able to access the web pages via a domain name.

http access via IP address works fine.

Your packet tracer file looks so much better than the uploaded picture. Haha... Keep up the studies, but don't over complicate your labs. Stick to the subject material discussed in the lab scenarios if you're using them.

For a LAN such as this, a L3 device is not necessary if communication is isolated to within the LAN. It all depends on the network. I'm sure that he'll want to expand that to include L3 devices later. This lab can be easily used for VLSM. His current configuration has the network as a simple network 223.255.255.0 /24. This can be easily converted to a lab for VLAN by implementing ROAS (Router On A Stick) configuration.
