Does the server have an IP address ? Have you checked the ipconfig in cmd and is it on the same subnet as your network is on

if I give the server a statistical ip it is not visible on my windows client.

If I leave this on DHCP it will be visible on my windows client.

now i have to say i only have a switch now. could possibly add a router. But there is no internet available on this network.

but then in my opinion I should be working with a statistical ip on the server?

Servers should always be on static IP. You will need to use a IP that is not been used elsewhere on the subnet/network. You will also need to setup the Default Gateway and DNS servers. The server will also need to be on the same network/logical address space as your clients if you do not have a router.

 

Once you setup an IP address on the server you can then try setting up RDP for internal use as a test and also shares and just use IP address to start with. Keep it basic whilst you start to learn.

 

I would suggest starting with some guides or even a MS exam self study guide on Server 2019 if you can get one. And maybe another on basic networking.
