I have two Hyper-V hosts, each with a statically assigned IP 10.0.1.10 (host 1) and 10.0.2.10 (host 2), the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. I've joined these with a crossover cable.
I create a VM on host 1 and assign it IP 10.0.1.20 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) and also create a VM on host 2 and assign it IP 10.0.2.20 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0).
I cannot seem to get the VM on host1 to ping host2 or ping the VM on host2. I can successfully ping host1 -> host2 and vice versa. I'm using an external virtual switch, and I have "Allow management OS to share" checked off.
I'm a bit of a networking n00b. Do I need to set gateway IP's or add routes or anything like that?
I've tried this, but I haven't had any success yet. The hosts can ping each other. And VM's that share a host can ping each other, but VMs can't ping their host and VM's on different hosts can't ping each other.
I wonder if the virtual network adapter should be assigned a static IP like the guests and hosts and used as the gateway or something? – campbell.rw – 2014-03-31T14:45:48.177
One thing I did incorrectly that I just noticed was bound my wifi adapter to my virtual switch instead of my wired network adapter, foolish I know :) – campbell.rw – 2014-03-31T20:47:27.453
