Bridge Your Hyper-V Network to a Wireless Network

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Daniel Oxley was trying to find a way around the lack of wireless support to link virtual machines directly to the wireless adapter of a host. Finally, in a moment of clarity, he realized he could try to bridge his Hyper-V network and his wireless network. (This also means he could leave his router under the sofa, where it was never in the way.)
The biggest plus for me with this solution is that the VMs are connected directly to the same network as the host, so will not need any extra network configuration, especially if your host network uses DHCP.
The step-by-step instructions, including the all-important screenshots are available on Daniel's blog. One more note: the use of a wireless card to provide network services to Hyper-V is not a supported configuration by Microsoft.
