Static IP configuration for Windows Server 2012 R2
You should assign a fixed IP address to the file server on her network. Since you can't modify the modem, set up a static IP through your router settings or network configuration tools. This will ensure consistent connectivity as the server moves to another location later.
You’ve shared many discussions, so it’s clear you’re aiming for the same setup as typical Windows. Start by opening Command Prompt and typing “ipconfig” to view your IP, subnet mask, and gateway. Next, click the networking icon near the taskbar, choose “Open Network and Sharing Center.” In the window that appears, click “Change adapter settings,” then right-click your Ethernet adapter and select “Properties.” In the properties dialog, pick “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click “Properties.” Now enter the details you’d see in the command prompt—like DNS matching your default gateway, and consider using Google DNS (8.8.8.8) as an alternative. This should guide you effectively.
