Changing the IP address in Windows Server 2008 Core
In my previous two posts Windows Server 2008 Core option and Why should anyone use Server Core option? I wrote something about Windows Server 2008 Core. As one of disadvantages I mentioned that there is no GUI, and administration tasks must be done in command prompt. It requires some extra learning, but it is not very difficult. I’m gonna write few post where I’ll explain how to do day-to-day tasks on Windows Server Core. For example, one of the first things you have to do when you setup new server is to change it’s IP adress. How to change IP adress in Windows Server 2008 Core? The command for that is very simple:
netsh int ip set address “local area connection” static 192.168.0.1
As you can see, command for this is netsh. It says: for the adapter “local area connection” define static IP address 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Very simple, isn’t it? At the end of this command, you can add address of the default gateway.
