Setting static IP problem on server core
I'm trying to set a static IP on a server core installation. When I type ipconfig/all just the Windows IP configuration comes up.
If I go into netsh interface ipv4> and try add address "Local Area Connection" 123.34.34.43 it returns an error saying "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
If I go into netsh interface ipv4> and try add address "Local Area Connection" 123.34.34.43 it returns an error saying "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
If the name is not "Local Area Connection" you can get its name with
ipconfig /all
or
netsh interface ip show config
ipconfig /all
or
netsh interface ip show config

I did netsh interface ip show config and that brought up an address called "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1" that was set to an IP of 127.0.0.1 and subnet of 255.0.0.0
I changed that address to the one I wanted to, but when I use ipconfig/all that address doesn't come up.
It seems like I need to add a new table for Local Area Connection, but when I use add address "Local Area Connection" it gives me the error saying "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

You have to install the NIC drivers if you aren't seeing anything but the loopback (127.0.0.1)

Where can I find the NIC drivers?
You will have to download them from the manufacturer's website. If the server is a name brad Dell, IBM, HP, etc I would start at their website.

Well it's a virtual machine that's being run on a mac with Parallels Desktop. Would this still apply?

Ok, so apparently the Parallels Tools aren't installed. But, when I go to install them, the installation just doesn't start. I click 'continue' to start it and just nothing happens. Any idea why?

I'm trying to change the 'source' in the CD/DVD hardware configuration, but it keeps reverting to the previous source for some reason.

didn't fix it
I had the problem of that text popping, and I solved it like this, though ti probably wouldn't help the op, but I wanted to add one possible solution:
I was looking wrongly the name of the interface.
When you go to ipconfig /all, and you see "Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi", the name of the interface is not all that, it's only "Wi-Fi".
And I was able to realize that, thanks to "netsh interface ip show config" (seen up here), where as an interface name it only appears, in this example, "Wi-Fi".
