My headless server is placed on the attic with only power and ethernet, it has a old static IP assigned from within windows, so it now faults to a 169.254.xxx.xxx IP witch is the wrong subnet. Afaik this is how windows handles static ip's that are invalid and cannot get a response from the router.
Id rather not move the machine down, nor move a monitor and keyboard up there.
Is there a way to force either dhcp or a newly assigned static ip from the router? So it takes precedence over the old windows assigned static ip? Thanks!
