That would be nice too:) Virtual Private Network, maybe to see the Very pretty Norwegians?

I've hit a snag:



OK, it works perfectly from the forums.

You already have a Virtual Switch. Here is mines


Try removing both:
1- click the switch
2-click remove


Then just start over.

Thanks, Cliff! I thought that might be the case, but as you know, this is all new to me!

I'll do it in a few . . .

You're welcome Wynona, you know if you really get stuck we can Skype. I downloaded the update today(it's not offered through skype update you have to go here: Download Skype for Desktop

Exactly. One physical host NIC can only be assigned to one external virtual switch at any given time. Usually you can only have two external switches, one using the LAN / Ethernet NIC and the other using the wireless NIC.

I see no reason to remove the existing external switch if it is working.

I thought it would be better for her as Wynona IS just learning, and when I want to learn I go back to zero and start from the beginning until I have the steps in order down packed:)

Removing an external virtual switch assigned to a wireless physical adapter can be really tricky, in some cases needing a reinstall of Windows before the switch can be re-created.

Great tutorial @Kari! Learned a lot more about Hyper-V :)

Thanks Michael :)
