Windows 10: Windows 11 - HyperV Bridge - Binding to NIC Hidden for WSL

Windows 11, using WSL to work with VS code. Need clean and simple means to bridge Gb NIC to LAN directly no NAT and intermediate services.Enable HyperV It creates "Default Switch" and randomly picked a VPN TAP connection and set to "Internal" stupid but .. not germane to issueCreate Virtual switch and bind to Gb NIC "Ethernet"~~~PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-VMSwitch Name SwitchType NetAdapterInterfaceDescription---- ---------- ------------------------------Default

Windows 10 1809 crashed with NIC Bridged

The PC is upgraded to Windows 10 1809 (17763.168)

The PC is quite stable but crashed when a Nic bridge is created between

- TAP-Windows Driver Version 9.21 (OpenVpn)

- Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller, driver 10.28.615.2018

After the creation, the bridge static IP is working as espected but the server is crashing around every 2 hours with a BSOD "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" caused by ndis.sys

NB: Same config with windows 10 1803 was perfectly stable

Any help is welcome.

 

Question about bridged NICs

Hello,

I've been looking for some information about using bridged network adaptors in Windows 10, but what I've found has just confused me more.

I've just moved my router into my home office since I needed a wired connection for my new media/samba server, so now I can also connect my PC via ethernet (it was just using WiFi before since the router was in the hallway). Right now I have both wired and
WiFi connected (not bridged, separate IPs) but Windows will only use ethernet, even when samba is using almost all my ethernet bandwidth. My router is a standard TalkTalk Huawei home router.

I've read several things online - including on TechNet - that say it can be used to connect wireless devices to a wired-only network (no use for me since my outer has wireless-AC), and I've read other things saying that it can basically combine the NICs'
for greater throughput (which would be handy for my situation). The only problem is that nothing I've read actually gives a clear answer to my question.

What I want to know is this: Will bridging my NICs allow greater bandwidth between my PC and router? In other words, would it allow samba to use a full gigabit while still being able to browse the internet
with full WiFi bandwidth? (Obviously it won't improve my internet speed, that's TalkTalk's problem. And of course, samba can only use up to a gigabit since the server only has one gigabit connection to the router.)

Thanks,

Leah

EDIT: If this won't work, how can I make Windows use both NICs simultaneously?

 

HyperV issues after update KB4103725

I have had two hyperV locations with windows server 2012 R2 fail on this update(KB4103725)

Symtoms:

1. hyperV host Nic changes from domain network to public network.

2. hyperV guests loss network connectivity.

Are there any known patches which address the above symptoms?
