Hyper-V Internal Switch saying Unidentified Network

My Internal Switch keeps displaying "Unidentified Network" I've read a few forums saying to set a Default Gateway which I have, unless I've set it wrong or something...

I set it to the same gateway my host has, I also tried setting it to the IP of the host & also 127.0.0.1
Anything else I could try?

    Vswitches do not have addresses. 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 switch and on each VM use configure the vEthernet by assigning address, gateway, subnet, DNS servers in the same manner as if it were a physical adapter.
