Greetings all,
I believe that the basic problem is that I cannot bind a WiFi NIC to a Virtual Switch.
I have Windows 8.1 Pro. The computer has a wired NIC and a wireless NIC (both Intel). The CPU is Gen 3 i7 and supports HyperV. I had 3 VM's running. The VSwitch was setup as an external shared switch binding to the WiFi and all 3 VM's could connect to the internet and the local LAN. Everything was working as it should.
I updated the NIC drivers, and a problem started. The wifi works for the local computer without issues.
The VSwitch is no longer valid. I deleted it. I cannot create a new Virtual Switch binding to WiFi. I CAN create a Virtual Switch binding to the wired NIC. I installed an external Cisco USB WiFi, and even that cannot be used in the binding.
The error occurs after following the following steps ...
1. Run HyperV Manager as Admin
2. Click Virtual Switch Manager
3. Create New External Virtual Switch
4. Select WiFi NIC for the External network.
5. Check Yes for Allow management operating system to share network adapter
6. Click OK.
ERROR IS AT THIS POINT. The error is ....
Title - Error applying Virtual Switch Properties changes
Text - Failed while adding Ethernet switch connections
Details - Ethernet port '{GUID}' bind failed. The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)
What I have tried, in various orders and multiple times ....
1. Reinstall NIC
2. Delete Drivers and install again
3. Install original drivers
4. Install new CISCO USB NIC - cannot bind VSwitch to this as well. Same error.
5. Remove HyperV and reinstall HyperV
6. NVSPBind
7. NVSPScrub.js - cannot get this to run - error is C:\NVSPBind\nvspscrub.js(354, 5) Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unable
an instance of Msvm_VirtualSwitchManagementService: Invalid class
I am close to reinstalling the whole OS. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
