Static IP

[czql5v1]

Hi All,

First Post.

I am fairly familiar with vmware but not vmware workstation. 

My issue is when I have built a new server the IP address is from DHCP and NAT. I have built a vm domain controller and need to input a static IP Address. I populate the IP Address details from the IPConfig on the server. The server has internet access but when I enter a static IP address with the exact same details it loses connectivity to the internet.

Can anyone let me know what this issue is about as I am not sure how to diagnose due to the fact it works on a non static IP Address.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Somewhat confusing . . .

- when you say "static IP address with the exact same details" would that include the DHCP allocated IP address of the new server.  This IP address should be outside of the DHCP allocated range, but within the same subnet.

- Just to clarify, is this 'new server' a VMware Workstation Host or a VM ?
