If you’re assigning a private network to an existing machine (or deploying your own operating system), you’ll need to configure the IP addresses on the private interface.
The control panel will assign you an IP address, you should replace “10.99.0.200” in the examples with that IP. Some configurations also require a MAC address, in which “01:23:45:67:89:ab” will be mentioned. You’ll need to replace this with the MAC address of your private network adapter.
In the AKLWEB HOST control panel, there are configuration examples generated for each of your VMs. These are located under the VM’s IPv4 settings, labeled “View our networking configuration tips and examples.“.
The examples in this guide are for IPv4, however private network interfaces on AKLWEB HOST VMs support both IPv4 and IPv6.

Find the private interface name on your system. You can use ipconfig /all or navigate the Windows Control Panel.
Replace “Ethernet 2” with the private interface name that Windows has chosen and run the following command.
netsh interface ip set address name="Ethernet 2" static 10.99.0.200 255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0 1
