I can't seem to get dhcp addresses on the guests using a 2nd external switch I made. Each external VM switch is on a different router with DHCP. Both switches get an IP addresses from routers, and I can ping both from core console. Both switches are configured the same (external/share with host/no vlan). Guests work fine if I put them on switch 1. However when I use 2 the guests will not get an IP. The working switch is a Broadcom NetExtreme 57 connecting to a Uverse gateway/modem. The non-working switch is an Intel pro/1000 MT Desktop connectling to a low-end Belkin router.
Here is what I tried...
assigned a static IP...still no connection or packet flow
tested DHCP on router on other devices...works, range is 192.168.2.4 thru 2.98
tried unchecking share with host option in hyper-v manager...no difference
tried using vlans option in manager...no difference
tried uninstalling and reinstalling the guest network adapter...nothing (remember it will work on switch 1 anyway)
This setup works in Server 2012 with Hyper-V installed. However now I am using Hyper-V core 2012.
