The following issue is about Hyper-V when creating a home lab.

Am trying to troubleshoot why my client VMs are unable to ping each other while using the "internal switch" option despite having been assigned static IPs within the same subnet. The internal switch virtual network adapter keeps indicating "unidentified network". I face the same issue when I try to use the "private switch". However, while using the "external switch", everything works okay. They can reach the internet. But I want to keep the connection just "local". Am using a laptop, connected to the Wi-Fi
