After installing Windows Server 2008 Core you may wish to configure a static IP address and DNS servers. Microsoft guides you through this process using the Netsh command.
Configuring a Static IP Address in Windows Server 2008 Core
Use Netsh to configure the static IP address:
netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Local Area Connection" source=static address=192.168.100.48 mask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.100.254
Configuring the Primary DNS Server in Windows Server 2008 Core
Use Netsh again to configure the primary DNS server address:
netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="Local Area Connection" source=static address=192.168.100.49 primary
Configuring Additional DNS Servers in Windows Server 2008 Core
Use Netsh to configure a secondary DNS server address:
netsh interface ipv4 add dnsserver name="Local Area Connection" address=192.168.100.48 index=2
The static IP and DNS server configuration will now be shown in IPConfig:
