Connect Hyper-V Server to Wireless Internet

Question

Connect Hyper-V Server to Wireless Internet

jbooze 61

Hello, I am having problems getting my test domain on the internet. I would like to get my Hyper-V Windows 2019 server on the internet while I am on my laptop, while I am using my Wi-Fi card. I have tried External and Nat virtual switches with no luck. Attached is the topology of what I am trying to do. I am to the point were I would just like to get the domain server on the internet and then attach the test machines, if possible. Thank you.

The gateway is not accessible. Might try deleting / recreating the external vSwitch

Hi Dave, I deleted all the switches I created. Created a new external switch based on the Wi-Fi NIC of the host. Connected the switch to the DC. And, it worked! The DC VM was connected to the internet! Thank you! Do you know what the problem was? Now, I need to get my two test computers on same network as the DC (which they once were). I will mark your post as the answer and start a new thread if/when necessary.

Not specifically, only that the vSwitch was not providing a route to your default gateway (router). Sounds good, you're welcome.

The address of the hyper-v host does not matter. The external vSwitch is correct. You mentioned a domain controller? If so the domain controller should have a static assigned address and use its own static address listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS. Use the NAT router address for default gateway.

Dave, I will try setting the domain controller VM IP as I had it as 192.168.100.10 and use that same IP as the DNS. How do I find the NAT Router address? In this forum if I click "accept answer," will I stop getting replies? Thanks.

How do I find the NAT Router address?

Most likely is the same as the host is using for default gateway.

Hello again, on the DC, I set the static IP per above. I did an ipconfig on the host laptop and was given 192.168.123.1 as the default gateway. I tried these and still could not get on the internet? Please see additional screen shots showing network adapters on host and VM to see is something may be wring there.

Please run;

Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiag.log (run on PDC emulator) repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt (run on any domain controller) ipconfig /all > C:\%computername%.txt (run on EVERY domain controller) ipconfig /all > C:\problemworkstation.txt (run on problem pc)

Also check the domain controller System and Replication (DFS or FRS) event logs for errors since last boot. Post the Event Source and Event IDs of any found. (no evtx files)

then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.

Hi Dave, I got your cmd line commands via email but they don't show on the forum page. Are these logs we need to see what's wrong? I will carry them out once I get to my home laptop where I trying to build this network. These are the commands?

Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% (enter the name of the DC?)

C:\dcdiag.log repadmin /showrepl (PDC emulator - run on domain controller? Only have 1 DC)

C:\repl.txt ipconfig /all

C:%computername%.txt ipconfig /all

Thanks for the quick reply.

I see the commands now after I saved the last post.

I will have to run the commands tomorrow, had trouble accessing site from home. One thing notice was that my External VSwitch is bound to my Wi-Fi adapter and there is not IP in the VSwtich and when look at the adapter there is no IP in properties (see attached).WiFiBridge022423.PNG

I ran the DC diagnostics and attached are the results. WSUS-DEMO.txt, repl.txt, problemworkstation.txt, dcdiag.log.

Dave, I will try changing the IP on the VM to have a 123 subnet as you suggested. I get your responses via email fine, but when I go to the Microsoft community site I do not see your response there? Is there a filter, or something I may be doing wrong. Thanks again.

The answers view is flat where the comments are threaded. When you post to older answers then the comments are collapsed by default which makes them hard to find.

Hi Dave, yes they are hard to find, at least someone else thinks that. I set the VM to the 123 subnet (see attached) and still did not receive internet connectivity. I ran a diagnostic on the network adapter and it said "default gateway unavailable?" Thanks. VMNetProb022823.PNG

Right now attached is the switch config I using. Should this work? Do I need to set the IP on the Hyper-V server?

You have to set IP , DNS resolver on virtual machine not hyper-v host.

As I mentioned to Dave above I will try setting static IP's. Thanks!

One thing notice was that my External VSwitch is bound to my Wi-Fi adapter and there is not IP in the VSwtich When you create a new external vSwitch the internet protocols are removed from the adapter and the Hyper-V Extensible Switch protocol is added turning that physical port into a multi-port virtual switch. Connect your VMs to this vSwitch and use each VM's vEthernet to configure the addressing in the exact same manner as if it were a physical NIC. Do not edit the vSwitch properties.

I've no clue yet. I have not seen the files and yes, do not alter the vSwitch properties. If that was done then you could delete and recreate it.

Ok, I will run the commands as soon as I can and we can go from there.

Dave, can you tell me where I would get a Replication Event log and how I can save these event logs to be other than .evtx files. This is good.

Just look for event source and event ID errors in the related event logs.
