Hyper-V Virtual Machines: Wireless Connection: Receives IP: Cannot Browse Internet

Ever since I've converted my laptop into a Windows 2008 R2 workstation, I've had issues with some wireless networks where my Virtual Machines receive an IP Address, Gateway and DNS servers, but could not browse Internal or External Web Sites.

The Problem? DNS Servers.

For whatever reason, the Internal DNS Servers that are getting assigned to my Virtual Machine are not able to resolve web sites like Google.com. So, I edited the properties of my connection (in the Virtual Machine) and put in static DNS servers like the Level 3 DNS Servers:

- 4.2.2.1
- 4.2.2.2

The issue seems to be that the IP Address that my Virtual Machine was getting assigned was a different IP Address Schema than the main network (and Internal DNS servers). So, while my VM was 10.8.8.24, the DNS server was 10.4.4.10. Normally, the host machine still works fine with this setup, but the Hyper-V VM cannot deal with this setup.

My setup for my laptop is Windows 2008 R2 (x64) (Host OS) running Hyper-V Virtual Machines that are all (x64) bit.

Hope that helps you (if you needed it).

Cheers.
