Thanks for the help! For some reason my network wasn't recognizing my Guest VM. At some point it appeared in the network as all your machines do. I was then able to map the SharedDocs folder!

Thanks for the help I was able to map the SharedDocs folder of the Guest XP machine to the Host Machine. It wasn't showing up on my network until I had a successful ping which I thought was weird. My network wouldn't recognize it until then even without making any IP changes. Now the fun part...

Trying to get my machines to map together but it doesn't seem to want to find the XP machine in the network... I've got the connections bridged and I can see the LAN connections on the XP machine but unable to find that when I browse my network. Network sharing is on. You can see there is a...

OK sounds good I will give that a go. So, with the SMB 1.0/CIFS Client enabled... I should be able to map a network drive on my Windows XP VM, which should then show up on my network on my W11 machine and be able to transfer files back and forth? If I map the drive on my W11 machine will this...

OK! So, using the default switch allows me to get out to google and google topics on the Windows XP VM... I think because I was attempting to link the new "External VM switch" with the "Default Switch" already configured to use the WiFi adapter, it wouldn't allow them both to use it... BUT...

Unfortunately, I am getting an error after I try to apply the External Network connection type while it's configured as the Legacy Network Adapter

Hi Guys, Looking for some help getting an internet connection to a newly created Windows XP virtual machine using Hyper V. I'm unable to connect the new external virtual switch to my Wireless Network Adapter. It keeps giving me binding errors. I am able to get a successful LAN connection...
