The computer file hosts is an operating system file that maps hostnames to IP addresses. You can edit the hosts file in Windows Server 2016 to manually point a host name to an IP address.
Step 1
Navigate to:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
Step 2
Edit the hosts file in a text editor of your choice. Add the ip address of the machine you want to reach press tab and then enter the name you’d like it to be reachable over.
Save and exit the file.
You will now be able to navigateto that machine via the name you set in the hosts file.

You can solve this very quickly by typing the command:
sudo loadkeys uk
When this command is run successfully you should see a screen that looks like the one below.
Your keys should now be working correctly.
A video that shows this process can be found here:
