I cannot get my DC to access the local network. What am I doing wrong?

I set up a server host OS and a VM in Hyper-V as a domain controller on a PC with a couple SSDs. When I got everything working, I cloned them over to a PowerEdge T330. Now my Hyper-V DC will not work with a static IP address. It cannot see the network PCs, ping out, or access the internet. If I set it to DHCP, I can access the internet, but nothing internal. I am at a loss as to why this is happening, however, I need to fix this as soon as possible. Does anyone have any ideas?

is the VM connected to an 'external' virtual switch? The HOST must be set to a different ip address than any of the VM's

Yes, it was the exact same settings as when I installed the host OS onto a PC tower. the difference is the hardware. It worked on the PC, host and guest.
When cloning machines to new servers, the network card info will change as the hardware has changed. Check the TCP/IP settings in the registry and remove any old entries that could affect the new server.
Open Regedit on the server and check HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces.
