Use your browser's Back button to page back through the Configure Server screens.
Check or change the items in question.
Always click the Continue button to move forward again, whether you change anything or not. If you don't do this, information in the wizard may not be processed correctly.
For any configuration: It is always safe to Cancel the configuration, and run the Configure Server wizard again later from the beginning.

Unplug the appropriate Ethernet cable on the server and move it to the interface that you just configured.
You will be able to log back in, but you won't see the end of the configuration notices.
