Question

Hi Team,

1. I have installed Hyper V workstation in one of the Windows server.
2. Deployed VMs from Hypver V
3. Trying to accessing internet from newly deployed VM but it's not working.

Could you please let m know how to enable/access INTERNET ACCESS on the Hyper V?

Answer 1

Hi,

Could the Hyper V host access the Internet? If yes, please follow the steps below to enable VM access Internet:

a. Create an External Virtual switch on the Hyper V host and bind to the physical NIC:

b. Make the VM connect to the external virtual switch:

c. If the physical network has a DHCP server, after we connect the VM to the external virtual, the VM will get IP settings and could access the Internet.

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
Anne

Make sure the VM uses an external vSwitch then if domain joined the vEthernet should have the static ip address of domain controller listed for DNS and no others such as router or public DNS. If a workgroup member then use your ISP or other public DNS on connection properties.
