Configure TCP/IP for Static Addressing

To be done only on the future DC/DNS server

1. Log into your server as Administrator. Go to the CMD prompt and

use IPCONFIG command to find out your IP address, subnet mask and

Default gateway. Add 100 to the last number of your IP address - that will

be your server's static IP address (i.e. if your current address is

192.168.1.10 make it 192.168.1.110).

2. Open Server Manager and click Local Server.

3. In the right pane under Properties, find the network connection listing, such as Ethernet

and click the link to the right.

4. Right click your Ethernet connection and choose Properties

5. Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4.

6. Click Use the following IP address, and then type the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway address from step 1 (make sure to use the newly derived IP address, with

100 added to the last number).

7. Click OK. Click OK in the Ethernet Properties and close the dialog box.
