I currently rent out a Windows Server 2012 dedicated server off shore. I was trying to configure an additional IP address for my server so i was went to network sharing and adapter settings. From there i went into the properties for "Ethernet" so add an ipv4 address. There server was using DHCP so i tried to set static IP but accidentally left the default gateway blank.

As soon as I clicked Ok it appears like the connection was lost (since i did not specify default gateway) and therefore i cannot RDP to my server anymore. The only thing i can do is boot into WINPE (Windows rescue).

I have tried to use netsh commands to reset the network settings but setting static ip fails as i dont have admin control.

What can I do to recover my RDP control?

For such situations the remote controller cards were invented (iDRAC, IMM, iLO). Find out if your server has one and try to gain control using remote console such card provides.
