I have a Hyper-V setup where there are some services running on the host along side the VMs which the VMs themselves need to access.The VMs network is setup as an external network, bridged with the host's physical NIC.
The VM in question is an Ubuntu Linux machine. It successfully get an IP address on the network via DHCP, resolves DNS with the networks DNS server, resolve the host's DNS and can access the internet, however it has no network to the host itself.
I can't see any firewall rules, nor any options pertaining to host access in the Virtual Switch options, nor can I find anything useful on the internet.
Ideally the services on the Host would be running on a VM as well and could be part of the same network but that isn't possibly right now.
Does anyone have any ideas or pointers?
