    Good day!

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    To make the network of the physical machine completely separate from the network of the virtual machine in Hyper-V, you can use an "Internal" virtual switch. This will allow communication between the virtual machines on the same host and the host itself, but not with the external network. Here's how you can set it up:

    1. Open Hyper-V Manager.
    2. Click on "Virtual Switch Manager" in the Actions pane.
    3. Select "Internal" and click on "Create Virtual Switch."
    4. Give the virtual switch a name and click OK.
    5. In the Virtual Switch Manager, select the virtual machine you want to connect to the internal network.
    6. In the Settings of the virtual machine, select the newly created internal virtual switch under the "Network Adapter" settings.

    By using an internal virtual switch, the network of the virtual machine will be separate from the physical machine's network and will not be transmitted through the NIC of the physical machine.

    Hope this helps!
