You need to ensure that the DCA Virtual Maching is using a static IP address.
Navigate to the /setup-ip page on your DHCP IP Adderss
If the DCA VM is using a DHCP IP address of 192.168.1.1, then navigate to:
//192.168.1.1/setup-ip
In our example our DHCP IP Address was 172.31.20.205 so we navigatged to:
//172.31.20.205/setup-ip

172.31.20.40/24
