FIXED: Failed to set static IP in Windows Core Server: Cannot convert value '2147942405' to type 'System.Int32

Question

I am trying to set an Static IP to my Windows Core Server but i am recieving an error: "Failed to set network adapter address. Cannot convert value "2147942405" to type "System.Int32". Error: "Value was either too large or too small for an Int32."

I am running the server in VMWare Workstation.

None of my classmates have recieved this error.

Any suggestions for solving this issue?

I have tried the following solutions unsuccessfully:

• Restart the server
• Run the commands several times
• The following command "netsh int ip reset"
• Set the IP using CMD but i need to run it as administrator and dont know how to do that.

I expected:

• To be able to set an static IP, subnet mask and an gateway successfully.
• My results are shown in the picture above or below.

Hello,

You may not have sufficient permissions to do that.

Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click Start Task Manager, click More Details, click File, click Run, and then type cmd /admin.

Now, you're running CMD as administrator.

Retry the previous steps to set the static IP address. If the problem persists, run the "netsh int ip" command to set static IP address.
