Hi Katherine, Just out of interest, were you able to get ESXi up and running by yourself? If yes, what would be the best way to go about installing it?

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. -----Original Message----- From: Zameer Mahomed <core7xx@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2019 3:14 PM To: 'Blind sysadmins list' <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Hyper-v: Internet on an internal switch? 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 -----Original Message----- From: Katherine M.

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. -----Original Message----- From: Zameer Mahomed <core7xx@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2019 8:00 AM To: 'Blind sysadmins list' <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> 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?
