Hyper-V VM can't ping another Hyper-V VM

Hello all,

I've been working on a lab network attempting to perform a test live migration. Here is my current setup:

Host 1: (STAN)

- VM (COSTELLO)

Host 2: (OLLIE) (Joined to the Domain)
- VM (ABBOTT) (Current Domain Controller) (DNS Server)

I have set static IP addresses for all of these devices. However, from each VM I can only ping the Host that the VM is on. I can also ping the VM from the Host. My problem is that I cannot ping the opposite Host or VM from the VM I'm working with.

To make that a little easier to understand, here is an example:
STAN can Ping COSTELLO and vice-versa.
OLLIE can Ping ABBOTT and vice-versa.
OLLIE can Ping STAN and vice-versa.

COSTELLO cannot ping OLLIE or ABBOTT
ABBOTT cannot ping STAN or COSTELLO

Windows Firewall is completely disabled on all of the computers, Network Discovery is enabled on all computers. Each VM is configured with an external switch in Hyper-V Manager.

ABBOTT shows "No Internet" in the taskbar, however it can ping Google.com, ping its Host, and shows the domain name in the ncpa.cpl menu.
Just to note, STAN and COSTELLO cannot ping the DNS server or Domain on ABBOTT.

Any help or suggestions? Thanks!

 

Hyper-V, Windows 10 and Transfers

I upgraded my Windows 10 Home recently to Windows 10 Pro to use Hyper-V for legacy software. I set up Hyper-V without too much difficulty, installed Windows XP as the operating system, and everything operated fine. Then I discovered Hyper-V seems to be
user-hostile when it comes to transferring files from the host PC to the VM. Most of the help I found on the internet was highly technical and/or written several years ago when Hyper-V rolled out on Windows 8 or 8.1.

Microsoft's VPC 2007 was a wonderful, intuitive piece of software. I miss it. Do you have step-by-step instructions in simple English for configuring Hyper-V to share documents with the host PC, and vice versa? Do you have any insight whether a simplified
fix is coming in the near future?
