ON Gaming-PC

2.1. Open ncpa.cpl, doubleclick your main internet adapter, click Properties and double click "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"

2.2. Set a static IP-Address on the Gaming-PC -> you need to use the same values as displayed by ipconfig.
Do not use the values from the two screenshots below, these are example images!
You need to use addresses that work with your network, if you run ipconfig in cmd on the Gaming-PC you can copy the values that are displayed there.

-> If you lose internet connection at this step you are 99% using an address that does not match your local network, make sure you copy the one displayed by ipconfig.

2.3. Go into advanced.

• Click "Add" under "default gateways"
  • Next to Gateway type your Router's IP address, untick "Automatic metric" and enter 100 and click "Add".
    -> If you don't know it you can type ipconfig in cmd on the Radar-PC and look for "Default Gateway".
• Click "Add" under "default gateways"
  • Next to Gateway type your VM's IP address, untick "Automatic metric" and enter 50 and click "Add".
    
• Click "OK"
• Click "OK"

2.4. Untick "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"

2.5. You should be ready to go!

Troubleshooting / Testing Functionality

Testing Functionality

• Open CMD on the Gaming-PC and run the following command

  tracert -d google.com

  This will return multple lines with latencys and IP adresses relevant to the route it takes to it's destination.
  Only the first line matters and it has to be the IP adress that was returned by the "ipx" command. If it is not make sure that firewalls are off and the Gaming-PC can ping the ipx IP address.

Troubleshooting

• No Internet after setting the static IP-Adress
  • Instead of using your gateway as the DNS server try using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

If these troubleshooting steps don't fix your connection issue we can help you in
a ticket on our discord server!
