Configure network settings in Windows Server 2012

The basic settings of Windows Server 2012 include an active network connection via a so-called DHCP server, which sets the IP address automatically.

For our needs, we must set the IP address manually. Therefore, we will show you how to do it in a short guide.

1. Finding IP address

We're going to login into admin.hukot.net.

After logging in we should see navigation menu. We're going to select "Virtual servers".

We can see list of ours virtual servers now. We're interested in IPv4, we're going to click on the IP address.

We should see network settings for our VPS.

We'll use this information later.

2. Changing VPS settings

Now we're going to go inside our VPS. We're going to right click on the network icon.

We're going to choose option Open network and sharing center.

Select option Connection: Ethernet.

Select Properties.

Choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.

Select second option Use the following IP address.
We're going to fill everything with information we obtained in 1. step.

IP address = IP
Subnet mask = Mask
Default gateway = Gateway
Prefferred DNS server = DNS1
Alternate DNS server = DNS2

We're going to confirm our options and close the window.

And we're done! (^.^)
