Win 11 Hyper-V VM does not have Internet access on creation

Can anyone recommend a solution to this issue which has worked for them?

@x509,

I assume that possibly you don't have a network adapter configured for your VM. If that is true, try these steps:

First, if your VM does not have a network adapter in the list of virtual hardware, add one like this:

Select your VM and click on Settings...



Click on Add Hardware and then on Network Adapter...



Select the newly added adapter or an already existing adapter if you already had one and then select the switch type. My suggestion would be to select Default Switch. This will setup your VM to use NAT. If you need something different or you want your CM to use a specific network adapter in your system, let me know and I can guide you through that.



That shoud do it!

NOTE: You can do this configuration with the VM shutdown or while it is running.

Any questions? Let me know.

Even better way if you want your VM to have Host / VM communication and also to rest of machines on yiur LAN if you have multiple machines is to create the NIC as an EXTERNAL switch (which acts as a Network Bridge). This gives the VM say an IP address of 192.168.1.XXX so any other machines on 192.168.1.XXX will be accessible. You av also use Wireless NIC's for this.
