I&#8217;ve bridged my network connection through Settings of VirtualBox; I&#8217;ve restarted the server and activated the scope of addresses to hand out.<\/p>\n<p>The host machine workstation\/Windows\/client-side (same machine hosting the Server 2012 installation) is not pulling an IP from the DHCP server. The VirtualBox network adapter has an auto-configured IP address of 169.etc.etc.. I also have another workstation machine connected to the same switch as the server, and it also is not pulling IP addresses (same auto-resolved 169 address). The switch is not connected to any networks or the internet; it&#8217;s simply connecting the server and the workstation together.<\/p>\n<p>Do I need to set a static IP and other settings for the VirtualBox virtualized network adapter? Beforehand, the adapter was set to NAT in VirtualBox, but I&#8217;ve switched this to Bridged and pointed to the main Ethernet network controller appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated from anyone, thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":2},"question-category":[49],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-3917","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-networking"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/3917","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=3917"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=3917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
