Well I'm trying to grok Hyper V networking and having a few issues.

My host machine has two physical nics but only one is physically connected to my router.

I need to set up a virtual network to enable my VM's to see the internet etc.

I can get this working by setting up my main nic as an external bound virtual network.

However since installing the Hyper V role I cannot seem to use Microsoft Networking/NFS/SMB ? Basically my network printer now cannot be accessed, any ideas what I'm soing wrong ?

Ironically from the VM's NFS seems to work.

Ok I can get NFS working if I make my VM's live on an internal network.

How can I bridge this network to the physical network ?

 

is one of these nics attached as the management NIC as well?

you could have them both Hyper-V Nics and throw an ISA Server on maybe?

im not sure ICS will work because if Hyper-V is managing the interface its a hyper-v interface not longer a pure host interface

 

Whats a management nic ?

I've not read much on hyper-V I have to confess.

Well essentially I'm only using Hyper-V for the odd VM, pretty much like a Virtual PC replacement, I don't want to set up an ISA server really.

Well yes ICS was one thought but yes I'm not sure if its supported, clearly Hyper-V messes with the network stack quite a lot, any good guides I can read quickly on Hyper-V networking ?

Turned ICS on for the private virtual network and all is now good, god I need a networking course !

thanks !

Yes all sorted now, ICS forwards DHCP and does NAT etc and is making the virtual network bridge to the real world.

 

I'd recommend comptia network+ but I think you'd shoot me if I did.
