Hyper-V Guest VM Internet Access

Hi guys,

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how to allow my VMs internet access. I've tried so many things including what's in all three links below:

• https://www.groovypost.com/howto/share-an-ethernet-or-wireless-network-connection-with-hyper-v-in-windows-10/
• https://windowsreport.com/hyper-v-not-connecting-internet/
• https://youtu.be/2hUILtCbOfE

And yet my VM's do not have internet access.

So in a nutshell, I've tried variations of:

1. Create a virtual switch (an external switch, bound to the network adapter of my host and also tried an internal switch)
2. Assign the new virtual switch to my VM.
3. ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to allow network users through my host computers network connection.

Any suggestions for what I'm doing wrong or missing?

Thanks,
