Hyper-V Server 2016 can't ping outside world
I have recently installed Hyper-V Server 2016 on a Dell Poweredge T640.
This was on a new machine, with no other OS etc installed. I used an ISO burned to a DVD to install.
This is my first time working with Hyper-V.
The installation seemed to work fine. After installation, I used the sconfig utility to set up the network.
I have used a static IP address and the correct gateway & subnet mask settings. However, I can't ping anything from the server (nor can I ping the server from anywhere else).
I have disabled the firewall - using netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off - on the Hyper-V Server installation.
I have enabled ping in sconfig under Configure Remote Management
I have tested the physical LAN cable by plugging another computer into it - it works fine.
I haven't proceeded with any VM installation as I thought I should get this sorted out first. Am I missing something? Shouldn't I be able to ping my gateway at this stage? I have read about Virtual Switches, but I shouldn't need one to ping my gateway, should I?
Thanks in advance for any help!
*** I forgot to mention:
When I use Network Settings in the Sconfig program, my adapter is listed as: Remote NDIS Compatible Device. Is this the problem?

NDIS is used to connect compatible devices such as firewire etc

thanks for your advice.
There is no add new hardware wizard in hyper-v server 2016. there is no gui
i will try to work out if it can be done manually.
i still don't know why the NICs weren't picked up during installation. i am wondering if there is anything that needs to be set in the BIOS of the server.
