Need help with HyperV - can't acces internet with the guest OS

Question

Hello,
I am new to Hyper V and I have been searching and trying fixes and I couldn't solve the problem.
I installed windows server 2019, installed hyper V, create my first VM.
My current server has 2xIPs, one is already assigned to the windows server 2019 and the other IP I am trying to assign to the VM.
I added the IP as static but the VM is not getting any internet access.
Can you guys give me some hints.

Thanks

That's not at all how it works. 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 vSwitch and use each VM's vEthernet to configure the addressing in the exact same manner as if it were a physical NIC

Unfortunately it doesn't work.
I have already set the switch settings to external and the vm is set to use the vswitch external.
I tried to add the ip to the vm same manner as physical nic. I don't know what I am missing.

Answer 4

Simplest solution is to set the guest to DHCP assigned and let the router give it the correct settings.
