If you tell us what the server needs to do we can come up with alternatives.
The ultimate goal is to run .exe applications
Hence the fact that being on Linux can be problematic in my case.

Then you must not use Windows Server 2019 anymore. And you should really know what you are doing in terms of configuring the firewall of a Windows Server, since it is really a challenge to protect the server against attacks.
What do you recommend using? I followed the netcup tutorial, which suggested using Windows
Not related to the network connection issue, but isn't Windows Server 2019 out of support since September last year?
Unless you have purchased extended support, do you really want to connect this directly to the internet?
Yes I really need to connect it to the internet
Your 169.254.xxx.xxx Ip address is a link local IP, not a public IP. Such addresses are used, when there is no other, public IP address assigned to them (via DHCP) or manually configured. So, I guess either there is no DHCP-Server available or the server really doesn't have a working network connection. I would try the IP from the SCP (configure it manually). This is the IP meant for use with your server.
What Windows version did you install? Probably no german version, those seem to have a problem with the network, while english/american versions seem to work. But I don't have any hands on experience with Windows on a netcup server, so take this with a big grain of salt.
I'm using Windows Server 2019 EN-US Version
Open the CMD and enter the following command: ipconfig /all
Then check whether the IP address, subnet mask and gateway details are correct. Then check whether a correct DNS server has been entered. The DNS server 8.8.8.8 is from Google. Is ok for testing. However, I would always use the provider DNS, i.e. the Netcup resolvers.
my IPV4 address displayed (attached file) is not the same as the one in SCP, which one should I use?
How can I find Netcup's DNS provider? Thanks in advance
But the interface is visible in Windows? Then the driver seems to be working. What does the network configuration of the interface look like? By the way: which Windows Server version are we actually talking about?
Edit: Ah. I see you've added the screenshots to the thread. As I said before, something seems to be wrong with your network configuration of the interface. You are probably missing the DNS server.
I just saw your edit... I was advised to use DNS 8.8.8.8, do you have another suggestion?

- What do you mean by interface?
- about the network configuration, I've put up a new photo, is that what you're talking about?

Hello,
I'm contacting you because I'm experiencing a problem with my server. I received my login details this morning.
I followed your tutorial to install Windows via this link: https://helpcenter.netcup.com/en/wiki/server…ws-installation
Everything went fine, from installing Windows to installing the Ethernet driver so that my server could access the Web, but as soon as the driver was installed, my Internet access went from 'Not connected' to 'Verifying... No Internet' (see first image) over and over again.
I also tried to switch the driver in the SCP's network interfaces from 'virtio' to 'e1000' by reinstalling the driver, but that didn't work either.
I've followed all the tutorials and even looked at the netcup forum, but there's no answer to my problem.
