Hi there,
I’m hitting a wall right at the start of my lab setup. I can't get Active Directory configured, which means I can't get online. I tinkered with this server a few years back, but I can't recall the specific steps, and my searches aren't turning up anything useful.
Basically, I have this server running a dual boot with Windows 10. Here’s the issue:
-Under the Network Connections settings in the Control Panel, I don't see "Local Area Connection." Instead, it just says "Broadband Connection." When I click through to the IPv4 properties like the tutorials suggest, it won't let me enter a subnet mask or a default gateway—it only gives me a field for the IP address itself.
First off, I'm not sure which IP address to use since networking isn't my specialty, and I'm stuck on how to set up the LAN. When I try to install AD, after clicking "next" twice, it throws an error saying TCP/IP isn't configured.
I've exhausted all my options. Getting internet access is my priority so I can actually research solutions when I hit a snag.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
