Windows 10 Pro Hyper-v machine cannot get out to internet

[WonderWoman]

Hello,

I have a situation with a Hyper-v machine. I am in cert school right now and currently in a Linux class. I have a successfully built CentOS VM that is unable to get out to the internet even though it sees both my WiFi and Ethernet adapters. I am on a physical machine with the following configs:

HP Pavilion DV7-6b32US (64 bit)
Win10 Pro fully updated.
16 GB RAM
2 physical HD – C: is a 1TB SSD and I have a 1TB HD

The teachers (I have 2) cannot figure out why I cannot get the VM to connect to the internet through my Ethernet NIC.

Here are screen shots of the settings for both my laptop and the CentOS VM:





I will be needing to be functional shortly with internet access for my class. All suggestions and directions appreciated.

I am using Hyper-v because my laptop would not function to install any sort of Linux in Virtualbox – it would only build Windows VMs, so please don’t suggest I use VB.

Thank you,

Wonder Woman

I take it that ipconfig shows 127.0.0.1.
Have you tried binding the the network adaptor? I don't think it's automatic with CentOS.
Try this I found on the web:

• Access terminal/console
• Become a root if you are not already
• Execute "dhclient –v" command

Does that help you?

We cannot find that option in the HV management console......where would that option be in the management GUI console?

It's a function of CentOS. Just issue that command

Does it do that just with Hype-v? The other students in my class that are using VB did not have this problem.

I would guess so. Your operating system is not bound to the network adaptor's IP. If that command isn't working or returning an error then CentOS is having a problem with Hyper-V. You may have to switch hardware. The screen grabs you posted indicate the network adaptor is there, just won't bind.

Well after a little digging (been busy, new toys), you guessed right. Hyper-V is not Ethernet friendly I take it. I found this article which may help. That's about it from me. Good luck.

Sorry it took me a while to reply. That worked perfectly and immediately! It fixed it. Just a curious question though for the future. Did my teachers and I miss something in the GUI for the Hyper-V manager or the machine's settings itself that would allow for the bridging of the NIC?
