We had an older server at one location, and it was online and backing up online fine. And when the local ISP started charging per gig of usage. So we shut it down. Fast forward a year later, we have another location where it could go. So I bring the server there and it won't connect to the internet.
Log into it and see that the only network adapter is vEthernet. (It also has HyperV but not being used.)
Nothing but vEthernet is showing in Computer Management.
Tried multiple ports on the back. Tried static and DHCP address.
A really long time ago our local ISP had a box get struck by lightning. But at the time the server was off, but still plugged in. Could that have still screwed something up? Just trying to rule everything out.
Thanks
