Hello,

I installed Server Core on an HP ProLiant DL380 G6, enabled the Hyper-V role, created a vm with Windows 10 and started it without any issue; the only problem found is on the network in the guest vm: infact I created an external virtual switch bound to the nic used on the host but it doesn't connect to internet and doesn't ping the network gateway.

Hey Marco,

Are there IP Address settings on the virtual switch adapter on the Hyper-V Host?

By default the adapter may be called something like "vEthernet (Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver - Virtual Switch)". Log into your Server Core, then once you have logged in launch PowerShell within the command prompt. Then run this command to display what adapters you have Get-NetAdapter

Note the ifIndex of the vEthernet (Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver - Virtual Switch) adapter, for example 22, and then check your IP settings with this command using the ifIndex.

Get-NetIPConfiguration -InterfaceIndex 22

Let me know how you go

Cheers,

Matt
