Help.
Configuring IP Addresses and DNS
After connecting to the SAC command prompt, you can use netsh to
configure network addresses, default gateways, and DNS for a system. Once
you have configured those settings, you can connect remotely to the server
and use the GUI to complete other initial configuration and management
tasks.
To set the static IP address, you must know the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address.
1 Obtain the list of available interfaces:
netsh interface ip show interface
2 Identify the interface(s) that are displayed as Connected.
3 Set the IP address for the desired interface by entering the following
command (on a single line):
netsh interface ip set address name= interface
source=static addr= IP_address mask=subnet_mask
gateway= gateway_address
4 Set the DNS address by entering the following command (on a single line):
netsh interface ip set dns name= interface
source=static addr= dns_address
NOTE:
If you are using an interface name that includes spaces, place the text in
quotation marks. For example, "local area connection".
For more information about the netsh command, see "Scripting Tools" on
www.microsoft.com (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66414), or see
the Windows Storage Server 2003 Help.
Remote Desktop Connection
After an IP address has been configured, you can access systems running
Windows Storage Server 2003 from another Windows-based system by using
Remote Desktop Connection.
