Windows Server 2012 R2 static IP

[flibberdipper]

Alright, so I have a file server at my grandma's that runs Windows Server 2012 R2, and I need to give it a static IP on her network for fairly obvious reasons. How would I do this? She has a shitty modem from ATT, and I obviously can't change it out and such.

 

Also, it will eventually be moving to another house, and therefore I might have to change it again, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

From what I remember it's the same as standard windows.

A
1: open cmd

2:: type "ipconfig" to get your existing ip address, subnet mask, default gateway etc.


B
1: right click on the networking icon near the far right of the task bar and select "Open Network and Sharing Center"




2: near the top left of the window that opens select "Change adapter settings"



 

 

3: Right click on your Ethernet adapter and select "Properties"




4: In the new window that opens you'll want to select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" then hit "Properties"

5: In the new window that pops up, enter all the details that you would've seen in command prompt, in my case it's this.
DNS should be the same as the default gateway and you may want to use the google DNS server (8.8.8.8) as the alternate.


Hopefully this is helpful

I just leave tabs open and get to them at will.

 

But I will try this when I can actually hook it up to the ol interwebz.
