Please answer the following technical questions to the best of your ability, using your
current knowledge. If you’re having a very hard time understanding/answering most of
the questions then this job is probably not what you are looking for.

6) Scenario: Machine A is on the 192.168.1.0 subnet in location A and needs to
communicate with Machine B in location B which is on the 192.168.2.0 subnet.
Machine A is 192.168.1.35 and Machine B is 192.168.2.151. There is a point-to-
point T1 from location A to location B. The Ethernet IP of the router (connecting
the point-to-point) in location A is 192.168.1.230 and the Ethernet IP of the router
(connecting the point-to-point) in location B is 192.168.2.10. The Gateway on
Machine A is 192.168.1.254 (a firewall) and the Gateway on machine B is
192.168.2.254 which is a Sonic Firewall; the Sonic Firewall in location B is
inaccessible (lost password). What needs to be done in order to allow everyone in
location A to be able to communicate with Machine B which is in location B
without disturbing the network? Please detail the process and/or routes. Omit
(GUI) steps and or (telnet) commands
7) What is the default RDP port? Can it be changed?
8) What the probable cause for the following issue: One website on a (AD) network
