Configure the IP Address Format on Windows Servers

Make sure that the connections for your Windows installation servers are not set up to bind to IPv6 addresses.

Note: These instructions are based on the assumption that each server has a single network interface card, which is the recommended configuration.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the server as an administrator.
  2. Open the Network Connections window:
    1. Open the Control Panel and click Network and Internet.

      The Network and Internet window opens.

    2. Click Network and Sharing Center.

      The Network and Sharing Center window opens.

    3. Click Change adapter settings on the left side of the window.

      The Network Connections window opens.

  3. Right-click the connection and select Properties from the menu.

    The Properties dialog box opens.

  4. Clear the check box labeled 'Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6),' if it is selected.
  5. Click OK.

    Any changes that you have made are saved. The Properties dialog box closes.

  6. Close the Network Connections window.
