Recently, I embarked to setup a new Hyper-V VM on Windows 8 and discovered that Hyper-V does not automatically create a wireless adapter with the guest VM. So, despite having a Wi-Fi connection on my laptop, my new VM could not access the Internet.
After some research and tinkering, I was able to configure Hyper-V to use my laptop’s wireless connection. I thought it would be helpful to document the process as a way to help others looking to switch to Windows 8’s Hyper-V.
The Hyper-V Virtual Switch is a software-based layer-2 network switch built into Windows 8’s Hyper-V Manager. The switch allows you to connect virtual machines to virtual or physical networks. In this case, we will be setting up an internal virtual network adapter to support communication between the laptop running Windows 8 and the VM running Windows Server 2012.
