  +_Note that there are issues with this setup that need to be worked out if you desire a static ip address_
   
   The second Ethernet adapter is the Host-only adapter, and as you can see the ipv4 address assigned to it is not the one we specified in VirtualBox settings.  We specified that it should be _192.168.59.100_, but here it has been assigned _169.254.235.184_.  This is only important when a static ip address is necessary for consistency.  The link to network settings above explains in more detail, but the link does not show how to establish a static ip address in Windows (instead it describes the process for RedHat Linux).  
   
  
positive.code:   * IP Address: 192.168.59.100
    * Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    * Default gateway: 192.168.59.1
    
  Restart the Windows VM and invoke ipconfig once again from the command line:

  Start the Windows 2012 VM and check ip configuration:
  
  ```
  ipconfig
