Hyper-V, virtual Windows 11 Pro installation can't see network computers, only it's own host computer.

[JasonM]

I have installed a new virtual Windows 11 Pro instance using Hyper-V, the Hyper-V is running on Windows 11 Pro installed the computer in my signature.

The problem I have is the virtual instance of Windows 11 Pro can't see other network computers, the only network computer it can see is the host computer (that's running the virtual instance using Hyper-V).

I've enabled network discovery, and also checked I'm on the same workgroup. Also the other network computers that are not showing in the virtual instance, are visible to other computers in my network.

I have googled and searched for causes of the problem, however I can't find a solution. Are there any people familiar with Hyper-V that might know what's causing this.

Thank you
Jason

You'll need to create a virtual switch.

Thank you, I set up an External virtual switch and the VM can now access my network

Any tips, or anything I should be setting in addition, I just went with the default settings.
