Need help

[Firedragon]

My problem is, that I cant a of assign a static IP to a virtual machine.

I am trying to test a trial version of windows 2016, but to do so i need a static ip, but it does not work on a VM. so that I can switch between them in the router .

Is there anyway to do that, so that I can be certain that everything works before I roll out the final wim file?

Any help would be appreciated

That does not make any sense. Whether it is a virtual machine or not does not change how networking is configured. I have virtual Windows 2016 servers running with static IPs.

What exactly are you trying to do?

[socratis]

You have to set the static IP from within the guest, not from VirtualBox.

I have tried to set a static IP and rebooting, when I do that, internet stop working completely and i cant see or address it from the host.

I set have set it to bridged in network settings and I get this result when I set it to dynamic when I check it:

Note: I have used a win8.1 VM to test network settings

It does pull an IP from the router dynamical. But to configure the server I need it to be static, so that I can set the ports right in the router. It is almost impossible to set up a multi-site web server in the blind, getting ISS. PHP and MySQL working together. And it would be nice to have it seeing the physical computers as well, I figured that part out. I just made a link on the IP address alone and that works in both direction.

That looks like NAT instead of bridged network, which is, what you need for static ip in the VM.

[Firedragon]

In that case VB is really f''''' up, because it says, that it is bridged

[scottgus1]

That looks like NAT

Actuallt it doesn't. If the IP address were 10.0.2.15 and gateways was 10.0.2.2 then the connection would look like NAT. The guest's posted info shows IP of 10.0.0.82 and gateway of 10.0.0.1

I suspect Firedragon's physical network is a 10.0.0.# network, not common but perfectly acceptable.

@Firedragon, As to why setting static IP causes host internet to disappear, please state what static IP address you're attempting to set, along with subnet mask and gateway.

You are perfectly right, there are only on reserved address on the router 10.0.0.1 which works as gateway and DHCP server

@Firedragon, As to why setting static IP causes host internet to disappear, please state what static IP address you're attempting to set, along with subnet mask and gateway.

I have tried several combinations but none of them works

This is my ISP recommended settings:
IP: 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
Subnet mask; 255.0.0.0
Standard gateway: 10.0.0.1
DHCP: 10.0.0.1
DNS primary: 212.242.40.3
DNS secondary: 212.242.40.51

I have only static IP on one physical computer that i have set to 10.0.0.100 and I have tried to set the WM server to 10.0.0.200.

I think I have found the solution while writing. Somehow it had changed the settings under advanced to use the gateway address in both VM's instead of the primary DNS. I have no clue how or why, but i change it back and both VM's accepted the new address. I have never seen that error before, since I never have use advanced settings for anything. I only checked the advanced settings, because I was desperate in finding an answer I better have to write my self a note to check for that in the future

I did use this on both VM's: netsh int ip reset c:\reset.txt that might have caused it
