| | Forcing the use of a network connection In my host Hyper-V servers I have two Ethernet controllers and I would like to have one used exclusively by the host and to have the other one used exclusively by the virtual machines. However, the host server is using both of them and seems to prefer the one the VMs use. Is there any way to limit the use of an Ethernet controller?

| | Re: Forcing the use of a network connection Disabling TCP on that NIC for the host would mean it can't use it at all, but I think that's what you're looking for. Just open the connection properties and uncheck TCP/IP and the host wont be able to use it. I don't know your set up on the NIC's, so it's possible it might break your routing, but it should be fixable... -- Bob Comer On Sat, 8 Nov 2008 11:59:10 -0800, "Tom Mason" <masonth@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >In my host Hyper-V servers I have two Ethernet controllers and I would like >to have one used exclusively by the host and to have the other one used >exclusively by the virtual machines.

| | Re: Forcing the use of a network connection Robert, Thanks, that did it. There was a momentary sinking feeling when RDP disconnected after disabling TCP on the adaptor, but the automatic reconnection worked and I am in business again.
