RAS is your best bet; VMware, at least in my experience, will eventually screw you over. The server edition of ESXi, at least, does. You're hit a licensing limit that won't let you set up any VMs; my group tried it.

Hi Katherine,
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah, my searches have lead me to suggestions where people have RAS installed on a dedicated vm for this sort of thing.
Funny enough, when I used VMware, I havent bothered with this connectivity issue as it took care of it for me.
Kind Regards

Sounds like you need a router to serve as the gateway; if you're behind a NAT interface, then, you'll need something to get you onto the internet. You'l have to use RAS as a router only to do that. I've not looked at this in a long time, but that's the basic principle.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Hyper-v: Internet on an internal switch?
Hi Listers,
for those of you using Hyper-V,
My scenario is that I would like to have an internal switch but have this switch connected to the Internet.
I understand this is possible via NAT.
I am currently using Windows 10 enterprise, build 1803.
Using powershell, I have done the following:
New-VMSwitch -SwitchName Internal -SwitchType Internal
the interface index of the switch I just created is 33.
New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 10.10.4.1 -PrefixLength 22 -InterfaceIndex 33
New-NetNat -Name External -InternalIPInterfaceAddressPrefix 10.10.4.0/22
I've gone in to the settings of a VM under network adapter, and selected the name of the switch I created earlier.
I've also assigned the vm a static IP address and used 10.10.4.1 which I created earlier for the gateway.
However, I am still unable to access the Internet.
I am able to access other vm's and the host.
Your help would be much appreciated please?
Kind Regards
Kind Regards
