| | Updating / installing NIC drivers in HyperV Here's the issue. I have a server being used for Hyper-V Server. Currently, the server has one NIC, I would like to add a second, so I can dedicate the gigabit NIC to VMs. When I first installed the server, I had an older 10/100 NIC (Intel chipset) in, but Hyper-V wouldn't even acknowledge the NIC. Hyper-V does see the on-board NIC with no problems. So, the question is, how can I get Hyper-V to "see" a new NIC, and let me install drivers, preferably the one I mentioned above. Thanks, Jason A. |

If the OS doesn't have built-in drivers, try the website of the NIC manufacturer. When the OS can see the NIC you should be able to access it through Hyper-V. If the NIC is present and working when you install the Hyper-V role it will offer to set up a virtual switch on that NIC. If the role is already installed you can create the virtual switch from the Hyper-V MMC. |
