Cannot get network connection to work on Win2k8 VM over Hyper-v

[outstream]

Hi All,

 

Here is the picture.

 

Hyper-v is installed on Sun Blade. The Blade has 4 network cards installed in it.

 

Management station is a windows vista station.

 

I have installed Hyper-V manager on management station and created a Virtual Machine over Hyper-V.

 

Installed Windows Server 2008 Enterprise on VM.

 

after installation, mouse was not working. so i installed system integration components via hyper-v manager.

 

i have also created virtual networks external , internal and private. i have bound external connection to a physical NIC on hyper-v.

 

now, the problem is that the network connection in Windows 2008 is not working. it says network cable is unplugged . whereas, all 4 NICs in blade are connected to network, their status is up and result of ipconfig in hyper-v shows that all 4 NICs have ip addresses. all pings work aswell.

 

now i know the problem is about communication between Win2k8 VM and Hyper-v virtual switch. i just dont know what it is

 

any body has any ideas?

 

thanks.

Have you setup one of the network cards to work in the VM? You can use the hyper-v management console to do this.

this is solved...it was a silly mistake...i didnt add any network adapters in the settings of VM
