No Internet Connection for Server

There are occasions where the internet connection for the server is not working, when this happens, do the following:

  1. Click the Start button
  2. Go to Powershell and run as administrator
    • In the command prompt, do the following:
      1. Type IPCONFIG and press enter
      2. You will see a couple of ethernet adapters, note which one does NOT have the subnet of 172.31.7.1-254
      3. Click Start Menu and type ncpa.cpl and press enter
        • Find the ethernet adapter that you noted in step two (Again the one does NOT have the subnet of 172.31.7.1-254)
        • Right click the adapter noted above and select disable

NOTES:

  • If you disable the wrong adapter, you will be logged off automatically.
    • The only way to fix it at this point is to relaunch the server in AWS Console
  • You can make everything on the server stop working very easily with the process, so please make sure you follow the instructions very carefully.
