Hello all,
I recently installed Windows 10 Pro on a VM hosted on ESXi 6.7.
The new machine gets an IP address from DHCP as followed, running ipconfig:
IPv4 10.1.12.129
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.1.12.1
When I assign it a static IP (10.1.12.87) connectivity is lost and this is what I get running ipconfig:
IPv4 169.254.116.155
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway 10.1.12.1
Also, when I check the adapter Status -> Details I notice that there's a line Autoconfiguration IPv4 169.254.116.155
As soon as I change it back to DHCP, it acquires the same IP above (.129) and everything is working again
I verified that it's not a DNS issue.
I tried to disable and reenable the network adapter, but with no success.
If it's relevant, the vSwitch includes a dedicated NIC, uplink to the Core switch, the port is untagged.
Any help will be highly appreciated!
