The big challenge here is to understand the interaction between the physical machine and the HyperV environment. For my LAB, I have 1 Laptop with 2 NICs : an Ethernet one, and a Wifien-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)Installing win2008 Hyper V on my Lenovo T61p machine : HyperV Network Part | MS Tech Newshttp://blogs.technet.com/fesnouf/archive/2008/11/06/installing-win2008-hyper-v-on-my-lenovo-t61p-machine-hyperv-network-part.aspx#3148630Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:56:40 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3148630Installing win2008 Hyper V on my Lenovo T61p machine : HyperV Network Part | MS Tech News<p>PingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://mstechnews.info/2008/11/installing-win2008-hyper-v-on-my-lenovo-t61p-machine-hyperv-network-part/">http://mstechnews.info/2008/11/installing-win2008-hyper-v-on-my-lenovo-t61p-machine-hyperv-network-part/</a></p> re: Installing win2008 Hyper V on my Lenovo T61p machine : HyperV Network Parthttp://blogs.technet.com/fesnouf/archive/2008/11/06/installing-win2008-hyper-v-on-my-lenovo-t61p-machine-hyperv-network-part.aspx#3148697Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:00:30 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3148697tonyso<p>I think you may have skipped a step there? before you &quot;bound the EXTERNAL network to the Ethernet card of my laptop..&quot; you have to CREATE the virtual network in Hyper-V Manager -right? And you gave it a name that helps you select it in the VM - it is hard to see in the screenie, but something like &quot;External Network bound to Laptop NIC&quot; - correct?</p> <p>Thanks for posting this. </p>
