All my Hyper-V guest machines connected over an "External" type switch share the same local IP as the host machine, making using them nearly impossible. What is causing this, and how can I fix it?

    Might try recreating the external vSwitch. 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 (do not edit). 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
