so what happens when you log on to the server? does it show it has its ip working and can connect to internet? or is it waiting for a reboot since it installed updates?

are you talking about the server's ip or your computer? server should be on static ip.

the one with the problem is a server with windows server 2019. i do have a pc and it has dynamic ip.

Set the ip manually on the server again. It should stick.

Did you create another account that's not in administrators group after setting up the server, and use that account trying to set a static IP?

If that's the case, that's probably why the static IP won't stick. And what do you mean yellow caution warning?

Is it on the network adapter in device manager? That means the NIC malfunctioned.

i have to NICs on here and the yellow warning is were it would be a red x for no cable connection. i will look under device mngr see if there are errors there. i am logined in as admin i a m only user . thanks
