Static IP Issue with Windows Server 2022

Hi Community,

I installed my first Windows server to learn about the server and Active Directory. I installed Windows Server 2022. I configured a static IP and disabled IPv6. Then I installed Active Directory/DNS. After the reboot, the system is up, and I can access the internet and ping hosts. However, there is a world icon (No internet access) instead of a computer icon (internet access). In the static IP config, it replaced the DNS with 127.0.0.1, I know it'll use the local host as DNS. When I click on Network & Internet settings and Troubleshoot, I see an error 'DHCP is not enabled for "Ethernet"'. The only way it goes away is if I change the static to automatic.

How can I fix this issue? Thanks,

Also, I added forwarders such as 1.1.1.3 and 1.1.1.2 to DNS.
