Windows 8 Hyper-V guest VM internet access

Cory Plastek

I'm running Windows 8 Pro with Hyper-V enabled to run some Windows virtual machines on my workstation. For the guest VMs, I want them to be able to access network resources outside the host network, including the Internet.

Here's what I've tried so far:

  1. I've set up the internal network in Hyper-V switch manager and shared a NIC with internet access with the new virtual switch via internet connection sharing.

  2. I then created a VM and assigned the internal virtual switch to the VM's network adapter. The VM will then get an IP address in the 192.168.137.x range and set the gateway, DHCP server and DNS server to 192.168.137.1.

The Windows Server 2012 VM says it's not connected to the internet, so it can't open any web pages on the client machine. During this time, the host OS has internet access via ethernet (do not attempt to use a Wi-Fi connection with this setup), and the switch is configured to allow both the guest OS and the host OS to use it at the same time.

I've followed exactly the steps listed in the three related questions, but I don't see anything that should be changed:

Any suggestions on what to try or change next?

Although I'm not sure which of the following steps will actually solve my problem, it's working:

  1. Before creating the internal network, I have created an external network. I deleted the network and recreated the internal network.
  2. Disable and re-enable physical NICs and virtual NICs.
  3. Remove and then re-enable Internet Connection Sharing.

I was trying a lot of things to get this to work, and now I somehow stumbled across it.
