Unable to connect to internet

[DennisW]

Hi all,

 

I'm very new to servers but I have managed to install Windows Server 2008. After installing AD Domain Service, DNS and DHCP where I set a statistic IP address for the server I cannot connect to internet.

 

What info do You need to help me other then below?

 

The following is the output when I used the command ipconfig:

 

Windows IP Configuration

(I use the xx to limit the information).

 

When I ping I got the following output:

C:\Users\Administrator.SERVER>ping 192.168.xx.xx

(The IP addres for the computer)

Thanks in advance,

It seems like you didn't set the gateway IP. Notice the 0.0.0.0 in your output.

Thanks for Your comment.

 

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 0.0.0.0 192.168.xx.xx

 

I noticed that but as we can see it is actually two IP address:confused:

I have been trying to locate the 0.0.0.0 but I cannot find where to update it / remove it.

 

Thanks.

OK, I finally managed to solve the issue. From a command prompt I executed the netsh int ip reset command and added again the static IP. Next I disable IPv6 and rebooted. Voila! The connection worked ;)
