In FusionCompute, if a Windows virtual machine's IP address is 0.0.0.0, what could be a possible reason?

In FusionCompute, when a Windows virtual machine displays an IP address of 0.0.0.0, one likely explanation is that tools necessary for proper IP configuration are not installed on the virtual machine. These tools typically facilitate communications between the virtual machine and the host system, including the correct assignment and reporting of IP addresses.

Without these tools, the virtual machine may not receive its IP address from the DHCP server, leading to the display of a default or invalid address like 0.0.0.0. This is particularly common in scenarios where the virtual environment relies on specific drivers or agents to manage networking functions and configurations.

While other options mention manual IP configurations, they do not directly relate to the scenario where a machine displays 0.0.0.0. Instead, the absence of proper tools is a direct cause of the inability to correctly acquire and display an appropriate IP address.
