Why does my Windows 2008 server keep loosing its gateway IP?
I have come across this issue and it seems most common in virtual machines. The fix I found is:
- Logon to the server (using ILO or virtual console)
- NIC settings (and write down all settings)
- Open a CMD prompt with elevated permissions (“Run as Administrator”)
- Run the command:
netsh int ip reset - Reboot the server
- Logon again
- Set the correct NIC settings
- Reboot the server
