Windows 10: NETWORK BRIDGED MODE

MY MODEM HAS NO IPV6 ADDRESS DUE TO BRIDGED MODE. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I RESET IT? WHAT IS THE BEST OPTION TO FIX IT?

Network bridge suddenly stopped working in windows 10

Hi Shantanu,

To isolate your concern, we would like to know how your network bridge is connected? Is it a wireless connection or a wired connection?

In the meantime, we suggest that you set up your network bridge to refresh the adapter and reconnect the other devices. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Add Incoming Connections from the Internet.
• Bridge the two network connections that you want to use.
• Forget the internal network connection (under
  Manage Known Networks).
• Reconnect to your bridge network.
• Restart your computer and check if your concern persists.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Hyper-V Network Adapter Bridge Mode?


I'm running successfully running Android BlueStacks in a Hyper-V machine and have network connectivity through the host adapter. However, one Android app I run does not fully function because it believes the device is not on the same subnet as the actual host machine. Someone on another forum indicated that the host adapter needed to be in bridge mode, thus ensuring that the virtual machine is on the exact subnet as the host and other device attached to the router. They suggest using something busybox for the VM and set the network adapter to bridge mode, but I really don't want to add that to my machine.

So the question is: does Hyper-V provide a bridge mode setting for the (virtual) network adapter?

Configure Networks in Workstation

I would suggest you configure additional networks in VMware's Workstation the following way:

1. Open "Edit" -> "Virtual Network Editor"
   
2. Click on "Change Settings"
   
3. Click "Yes" on UAC
   
4. Click "Add Network"
   
5. Select free VMnet network to be created
   
6. When new network is added select it
   
7. Select "Bridged (connect VMs directly to the external network)"
   
8. Select under "Bridged to" your netowrk adapter which you have connected your host to your network
   
9. Repeat steps 4 to 8 until you have created Bridged networks for all of your hosts NICs
   

Configure your VM NICs setting

Go to "Settings" of your VM and change the Network adapter setting "Network Connection" to "Custom: Specific virtual network" and try with each of the newly created networks if the VM will pick up an IP.

I have found out that the setting to "Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network" in the VM settings, does not always work, as this setting should automatically detect which hosts NIC to use.

With the above creation you can work around that limitation.
Only thing to remember is to change the VM's NIC settings if you move you host's connection. Eg, moving from Wired to WiFi or from Home to Work.

NOTE!

If none of the networks at work will provide you an IP then your company's network is using some authentication protocol on the network which can prohibit IP assignment.
