Hello,
I'm trying to use Hyper-V for the first time and I've a problem accessing Virtual Machines running on the server. I've installed Ms Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 and I already try VM clients using Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition R2, and I've the same problem with everyone. The host is only running File Services, Hyper-V and IIS roles, and is a clean install only for testing proposes.
I can access from the Virtual Machine to the outside network and internet, but when I'm trying to access the VM from other LAN pcs the VM is found but any connection is rejected except Remote Desktop that works fine. Then I test the VM firewall using NMAP and wireshark trying to find what's wrong, but it just let me at the same state since there is responses from VM but when trying to access to shared folders or pinging it there is no response. Disabling the firewall won't show any better result.
By the way, there is no problem to access the hyper-v host server, in particular at inbound and outbund traffic.Contrary towhat one wouldexpect in the VM there is responses from inbound and outbund packets and the VM netbios name appear in a computer search from a LAN PC, but pinging and file sharing as no response when trying to access.
So I ask you if there's any default policy that must be blocking the access since I'm testing within a workgroup?
thanks for your help.
