Same issue, lots of people are facing the same issue. But no one from cisco is responding. Interesting.

Anyone found a logical solution for this Issue ?

I just skipped it. It looks like I still completed the course? It might be a bug or something

Get the PC (only PC) network settings, change it from DHCP to static and set the netmask to "255.255.0.0."

Seems like a bad case of copy/paste without proper review.

Thanks!

I found the solution. In my PKA the DHCP pool address was 192.168.0.x from Class-C IP address. So, I got 192.168.0.2 as IP and 255.255.255.0 as subnet mask. But it is very ridiculous that you have to set subnet mask 255.255.0.0 which is used for Class-B IP address.

I FOUND THE ERROR HERE:

The name of the devices must be as written on the instructions:
PC, Laptop and Cable Modem

They must be exactly like that otherwise you will get these weird errors.
