Instructions for configuring the Windows network interface after connecting the server to the network.
Step 1
Connect to the virtual server via RDP and open Network and Sharing Center , to do this, on the Windows desktop in the lower right corner, right-click Network connection settings :
In the window that opens, select the desired interface that does not have network access:
The interface status window will open. To make sure the right interface is selected, open its details using the Details button :
Compare the value of the Physical Address field with the value of the MAC field in the control panel:
Step 2
If, when creating a network in the panel, you activated the DHCP option , then the Windows network adapter will be configured automatically. You can check whether the option is enabled or disabled in the network properties in the control panel:
Step 3
If, when creating a network in the control panel, you did NOT activate the DHCP option , then the configuration must be done manually. Open the adapter’s properties with the Properties key :
Select the IPv4 connection and click Properties :
In the window that opens, in the IP-address field, enter the issued address, in the Subnet mask field, enter the subnet mask. All values can be viewed in the panel in the server settings (section Networks) or in the Network menu:
Save your changes.
Step 4
To check the network adapter setting, ping the default gateway address, for example:
ping 10.0.1.1
