On the Technet board, I was offered the following advice: "Why not run a vm as a NAT router between the private virtual network and the physical network? Put the "private" NIC of the router in the virtual network with the other guest and link the "public" NIC to the switch. That is the...

Thanks bassfisher. I guess my question, more precisely expressed, is: how can i ask the virtual switch to function as a router and to assign an IP address via dhcp to the vm? This should theoretically solve the issue. Having 2 nics would indeed work as well, but might occasionally require me...

Thank you, but can you elaborate on what i should try exactly? The vm nic is bridged since The virtual switch does not support Wifi directly (or at least that's what i understood...). However it appears that checking the vlan box breaks the connection of the host to the Internet.

I run my company's computer as a Win8 Hyper-V box, so to isolate it (somewhat) from my private stuff. When I am in hotels that charge for Wifi access, however, the VM is recognized as a second device requiring an additional subscription. Sometimes (Marriott) I cannot even get access to the login...

I will do - but I do not have the laptop at hand right now here (University of Zurich). I should tell you one more complication: After startup, the guest system must connect to a VPN. As a result, I lose RDP connectivity from the host to the guest as soon as the VPN is on. (I can still log to...

Kari, thank you for taking the time to compile an exhaustive response for my benefit! I guess I have expressed myself poorly - I (think that I) understand the concept of virtual NIC. And yet, with an external virtual switch I do end up with my router offering two LAN IP addresses via DHCP: one...

I should mention that of course I could connect the VM through an "external network". But then I would have two different IP addresses for guest and host - which is OK in my home network, but horrible anywhere else. In a hotel, I would have to buy two access codes for guest and host! Hence, NAT...

I have a Win8-64 system hosting a Win8-32 VM. A physical Wifi adapter provides Internet sharing, and a virtual switch provides Internet access to the guest VM via "internal network". However, the Win8-64 host seems to be confused as to which adapter provides Internet access. If I delete the...

I have a Win8-64 system hosting several Win8-32 VMs. Addressing the VMs via Hyper-V terminal works flawlessly, but there is no provision for sharing the clipboard. Remote Desktop provides much better integration, including clipboard sharing. However, the remote desktop connection, in my hands...

I am trying to setup a Win8 box as a "reverse proxy" web server using IIS. The goal is as simple as it gets. I do not need subdomains to go to different servers, but rather to redirect all port-80 and port-443 (HTTP and HTTPS) traffic to http://localhost:2080. I have been trying to get IIS to...

thanks!

I run Win8 64bit as a host to several Win8 32-bit Hyper-V virtual machines. In order to tell them apart, I have different desktop colors in the various machines. However, I have just switched to the cloud account - and now all desktops are identical! How can I prevent Desktop Settings from...
