Mac – Can’t access the default gateway from the VMs using Hyper-V on a W8 Pro ASUS N76V

hyper-vswitchvirtual machine

  • I just purchased a ASUS Notebook N76V.
  • I first upgraded the OS to W8 Pro.
  • I activated the Hyper-V feature.
  • Everything runs fine. I can create virtual switches / Import VMs / Create new VMs / Boot my VMs.
  • I configured the IP addresses / Sub-masks / default gateway
  • I disabled my firewalls
  • Under Hyper-V all my network adapters seem to run OK
  • I've tried all the 3 types of Virtual Switches (Internal / External / Private)
  • I can never access my default gateway. The only thing I can ping is the VM itself.
  • I've created many virtual environments before, where my host machines were either a Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008 R2. I've never had problems to access the default gateway and other WMs on the virtual network.
  • This is the first time I'm using Hyper-V on W8, and the first time I'm using the ASUS N76V Notebook.
  • Is there anything in particular I have. to configure?

Best Answer

Configure every virtual network adapter to the external setting. They will be bridged to a physical network interface and behave as if they were connected in the same device as your physical network adapter.

If you have a DHCP server, it will serve them IP addresses. If you don't, you need to configure static IP addresses in the same subnet as the default gateway you're talking about.
