Windows Server Ip Setup: Help Needed

BlockModder · Nov 8, 2018

Hello, I have recently changed over from ubuntu as an os to windows 2016 datacenter as my os. My issues is this, I cant seem to use remote desktop connection to access my server. I feel certain I need advice on what to set my static ip as for the windows server. I had it all working for the most part with Ubuntu, so I know my public ip isnt the issue. The pics provided should provide the rest of the insight. I guess what Im looking for is, was I right to set the static internal ip to 99.111....27? or well, what else would I set it to, just my public ip address?

by "had it all working" I mean my ubuntu server I was actually running webpages, but I couldnt stand ubuntu since there were so many issues with software availability etc. Luckily as a student I was offered a non-commercial version of windows datacenter to play with so here I am. Thanks to anyone who stops to answer, any advice is welcome. Sadly Ive never really understood how to set up the IP portion of a server to match with the router enough. My understanding is a bit blurry once I hit that part even though I can make webpages and set up game servers...

Of course not.
Public address is on external interface of your router.
Behind router you have private network addresses provided by DHCP service.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network
Usually router provides DHCP service. But windows server can provide DHCP as well.
For internal server you'd want static ip, so it doesn't change. This also means, you have to exclude IP address used by server from DHCP range, so you don't get multiple devices with same IP address (this causes IP address conflict).
After static address has been set, you configure port forwarding on router.

Ok, well, as shown on the pictures I've already done all of that. My router only has 5 internal ips that I have to assign. ranging from 99.111....24-.29. I assigned the windows server .27 which was open. I still cant reach the windows server after assigning that same ip on it internally to. Do they ports for remote desktop connection come default blocked on either windows server 2016 or windows 10 maybe?

99.111.x.x is public address.

Private addresses were listed in that link, I provided:
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
They are given by DHCP (depending on, how it is configured).

Is Internet Service Provider really giving you 5 public addresses?

If by internal you mean a LAN IP, the actual server box, this would be wrong by Internet standard. All LAN IP must be RFC1918, specifically 10.... 172.... 192. That's all you should use for LAN IPs.

Can you please define what you mean as "Remote Access"? Do you want to server web pages, or access server' desktop over RDP?

You'll need to port-forward different ports and protocols. Google/Bing "RDP Port Forwarding" for details.
