NOOB question- server static ip

Post by Bagley5777 »

Hello all!
I have a Windows 2016 server VM installed on virtual box, and I have a vendor that needs to access the server from outside and will need a static IP. How do I accomplish this? THANKS IN ADVANCE! I have the server on bridge mode right now...confused about how to complete the setup so the vendor can rdp into the server and install and test his program.

You'll need to configure your router to forward any RDP traffic to a static IP inside your network, to your static IP of the Win2016 VM.
