Common virtualization gotchas when joining an external network

I cannot find the properties as shown in Figure D in Hyper-V Networking.

Would you epxlain how to naviage there please?

Hi pdqtechnology, this was in Virtual PC 2005 which sits on top of the operating system unlike Hyper-V.

Hyper-V does not seem to have the DHCP server functionality per se for its' virtual networks.

I sent a question to my colleagues to see why or if there is a tool that does it easily for Hyper-V.

Virtual Server is kind of obsolete, and Hyper-V does not provide a DHCP server per network port. So, mostly, I find this post useless.

Hi Aos, I use Virtual Server to create VMs on Windows 7 that need to run if I am logged off or if they need scsi disks.

I also still run classes built on Virtual Server. If Hyper-V ran on Windows 7, that would be my preference as well.

I tried to work out 3 different VM's with microsoft VM (1 win 2003 server, 2 xp slaves) but I always got the same problem, once my users got in the server and the VM's the server bandwidth just DIE, I added a secondary NIC and redirect all traffic to the secondary NIC for the VM's, thou the real server is now happy the VM's just crawl, like crazy.
I had to get rid of the VM's and move to a real server, letting the users connect to the server, problem solved.
To me VM's are more a headache than anything else, since they have to share 1 or 2 nics with the rest of the server (not counting the memory), it maybe good for many, but as far as I am concerned, big F.
