Why can't I get network acess in the Hyper-V virtual machine?

Where are the network connections on Hyper-V and/or how do I set them up?

Using another virtual machine software and using a Ubuntu ISO file as a virtual machine, the network connections are available and I can load software using the command line to install a variety of software such as the Android Development Environmennt.

But when I try to do the same with Hyper-V, I am still able to install Ubuntu 22.04 but when I go to the command line to download software via my network connection:

sudo snap install android-studio --classic

I get this result:

and if I just try to get an update with:

sudo apt-get update

I get this:

I looked around Hyper-V and I foound this:

And I tried to change it like so:

But I was still unable to access the outside network.

Please advixe.

    Hello @Gelsana Thompson

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    You should use an external switch, please check the thread below as it's related to the same behavior:

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues while accessing network from Ubuntu VM.

    1. In your VM's Hyper-V settings, connect the network adapter to the Default Switch which gives access to host computer's network.
    2. In Ubuntu VM, go to Ethernet settings, then select IPv4 tab. Set IPv4 Method to Automatic (DHCP).
    3. Please try adding a "Legacy network adapter"
    4. Try creating and connecting to an External Virtual Switch
