Can't access hyper-v 2019 core host after forgeting to allow management OS - But getting logs from host

I've been testing Hyper-V Core 2019 but made a mistake editing the Virtual Switch Settings and for got to enable allow management operating system to share the network adapter. I am able to access the VM on the server but not the host, either via ping, Server Manager, or Remove Desktop, which all worked before making the network change. Unfortunately I'm remote so I can't simply change it back locally.
I would think I would be out of luck but the weird thing is I use event log forwarding setup via group policy and the logs are some how being forwarded from the missing Hyper-V host to the event log collector. So I'm wondering if the logs can some how get there is there anyway to get the host?
Thanks
Sean

The host may have another adapter that wasn't involved in a vSwitch. Wireshark may help you figure out an address.

Thank you so much, I had forgot that I had an additional network connection which it was connecting through.
I needed to use Psexec to change the IP as remote desktop would not work.

Thank you so much for your help!

You're quite welcome. Glad to hear there was another way in.
