we need a ton more information
1-did you create a external virtual switch?
2-what happens when you run the troubleshooter from within the vm?
3-Have you tried re-booting the computer, restarting the hyper-v manager, and restarting the VM?
4-On the host machine are the physical devices bridged?
Thanks 1)yes i have created external switch 2)i ran network trouble shoot problem not sure are you pointing to same? 3)i have rebooted VM how to restart Hyper V i have rebooted machine but no change 4)on physical host machine no network bridge<o:p></o:p>
i want togive small back ground i am using windows 8.1 with Hyper V issue is i am unableto access internet even though i created or selected external switch? so i havecreated internal and external both switch but still unable to access internet so i want to know what are troubleshooting steps required?<o:p></o:p>
There is some evidence that this works.
What I did was after creating the External Virtual Switch, I assigned a Static (NAT) IP to the vEthernet Adapter. This time I noticed that my Internet access to my host machine was restored. So the first thing that caused the problem was that DHCP did not work on the vEthernet adapter and a static (NAT) IP restored Internet connectivity. The original WiFi adapter appeared as Bridged, so I had no way to configure that adapter as long as the bridge was in place. The only place where I could put in a static IP was on the vEthernet adapter that was created by the External Virtual Switch. Then I started the Virtual Machine and noticed that it didn't have Internet access. So I created a Legacy Network Adapter, that was suggested by another article (although in that article it suggested creating an Internal Virtual Switch, rather than the external one that ZigZag suggested.) After I created the Legacy Network adapter on the virtual machine and bound it to the External Virtual Switch, I got Internet access on my virtual machine. So the steps that I followed were:1. Create an External Virtual Switch and bind it to the host machine's Wireless Network Adapter
2. Assign a static (NAT) IP to the vEthernet adapter on the host computer (in the Network and Sharing Center)
3. Create a Legacy Network adapter within the specific Virtual Machine and bind it to the External Virtual Switch.
Now I can create more virtual machines for testing and development on Hyper-V technology. Excellent!
Thank you Sherry and ZigZag.
Thanks i have few doubts 1. Create an External Virtual Switch and bind it to the host machine's Wireless Network Adapter--meaning i need to select Wireless Network adapter? 2. Assign a static (NAT) IP to the vEthernet adapter on the host computer (in the Network and Sharing Center only static IP is sufficient what about DNS, gateway etc 3. Create a Legacy Network adapter within the specific Virtual Machine and bind it to the External Virtual Switch.
i am sure i can have screenshot please for all step if possible?
Hi,
We hope you already found the guidance for how to share internet on Hyper-V, if you are still looking for that.
