How to enable Hyper-V to connect VPN for external internet access in Windows 8?
I'm trying to run Windows phone 8 app using emulator, and while see app in emulator it doesn't connect the VPN to access internet.
Please advice.
Thanks.
MSDN has a troubleshooting page for the Windows Phone 8 emulator. Perhaps you can find related info there. Something like this might help:
Cannot connect to Internet destinations
The Windows Phone 8 Emulator uses the HTTP proxy settings from the host computer. If you can’t access Internet resources from the emulator, check with your IT administrator to make sure that your proxy settings will work with the emulator.
If your network’s proxy servers are unavailable or malfunctioning, it might be possible to restore connectivity for the emulator by disabling automatic proxy detection on the host computer. However this only works in certain network configurations.
To disable automatic proxy detection on the host computer
On the host computer, open Internet Options from the Control Panel. The Internet Properties dialog box opens.
In the Internet Properties dialog box, click the Connections tab.
On the Connections page, click the LAN settings button. The Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box opens.
In the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box, deselect all the check boxes. Click OK twice to close both dialog boxes.
Restart the emulator and retry the connection.
Also this MSDN blog-post can be helpful: Why can’t the Windows Phone Emulator go online?. Useful part of the article:
As you see, clicking the “>>” on the bar parallel to the Emulator will open a small window with 4 tabs. The last tab is for “Network”. To explain in simpler terms, there are two adapters here – one is for internal use by Emulator and other is for external network connectivity. Each adapter will have an IP address (IPv4) associated with itself. The one of our interest is under Adapter #2.
I have erased out the IPv4 address that is assigned to Adapter #2 (Yellow box), but you find that the IP assigned here starts with 169.254.x.x…., then Bingo! - we have figured out the problem. How?
The IP addresses starting with 169.254.x.x …. Are usually the self-assigned default addresses to a device and not really helpful to get the device to go online. This IP should either be a static IP or the one assigned by the DHCP server (if you have one in the environment) for the device to be able to connect to external networks.
Hope this helps.

I have this strange problem that i haven't been able to figure out. Can anyone please suggest what to try:
I have a piece of software to control my camera from my computer. It's called "Control my Nikon". It has a built-in web server. The purpose is to be able to connect from a smartphone to use it as a remote control. You choose what port it should listen to and enable it. You get a simple interface with buttons. Exposing a photo, for example, triggers the URL 127.0.0.1:8090/?c=3. Very basic stuff.
On the computer it works perfectly, but from my phone, i just get a timeout. I figured i needed to open the port (8090) in my firewall and spent some time setting that up, but it still won't work. I am using my computer's IP address on the network: 192.168.1.214:8090, which should reach the same place as 127.0.0.1:8090 from the computer.
I then set up a Spring boot application to listen to the 8090 port and i was able to reach that from the phone just fine. This suggests that the firewall is not the issue. I can trigger the control my Nikon URL from within the Spring boot application too, by making a call to http://127.0.0.1:8090/?c=3. I can also reach pages served by Apache (192.168.1.214/testpage.html) on the computer from the phone without any problems.
What am i missing here?
The Nikon software is probably binding itself to the 127.0.0.1 network interface and not every network interface it finds.
The software doesn't appear to be designed for network control but just runs a web server so it can present a UI in HTML.
You would need to change the Nikon software so it listens on other ports (or configure port forwarding or a reverse proxy).
as stated in my question. I'm trying to have connection to a virtual machine remotely without enabling virtualbox remote desktop screen. using the network host only. but I could not make this connection without having to enable the option on the screen.
according to my research it is possible because applications as Andy or genymotion does this.
if anyone knows the subject. appreciate your help
I have connected to the internet through a modem named QUBEE which shows as the connection 'Ethernet 2'. However, I have a tab and kindle fire. so, I decided to create a virtual network or hosted network in my laptop. So, I created a hosted network with a numeric pass key (8-digits). The authentication type is WPA2-Personal. I shared the net of Ethernet 2 with it. However, i tried with both my tab and kindle fire, but it shows 'Authentication problem'.
Both of the kindle fire and tab remains in 'Obtaining IP address...' state a lot of time.
One thing I noticed that, when the device is not connected to the virtual network, its network strength remains strong. but it tries to connect, it becomes poor.
Another thing is that the authentication type of that recognize by both tab and kindle fire is WPA2 PSK. where the laptop has WPA2-Personal.
My laptop configuration is i5#2.5GHz, Windows 8.1, RAM: 6.00GB, Lenovo G480.
Thanks in advance for trying to help me.
I have installed windows phone 8 SDK and tried running a simple app which embeds a WebBrowser on a page. When I try to run the app in emulator the emulator does not get internet connection. It displays an error message saying "You don't have permission to modify internal Hyper-V network adapter settings required to run the emulator". Im sure my login has admin permissions. My machine is 64bit, hyper v is enabled and Hyper v manager is running, hardware virtualization is enabled in the BIOS settings, DHCP is enabled and its connected to a wired network. I have checked all the system requirements. What ever I do it keeps on giving the same error message. I setup everything in a different machine and tried running the app in that machine. The same error message is displayed in the that machine also. Can anyone tell me how to get it working.
DHCP is enabled and its connected to a wired network
Can you run ipconfig /all on your host machine and post it here please?
seems you have problem with your DHCP or maybe multiple DHCP and conflict.
You need to add your user account as a member of the "Hyper-V Administrators" group on the machine.
Detailed steps:
Hit Windows key + Q and search for "local users and groups". Change the search scope to "Settings". Click "Edit local users and groups".
Expand the "Groups" section. Right-click on "Hyper-V Administrators" and select "Add to group".
Add your user account.
Some connection tools on the host can have negative effects when used with the emulator; I found having cisco VPN client installed on the host prevented the emulator from finding the internet. Other VPN clients may have similar side-effects. I simply uninstalled cisco (the inbuilt windows VPN is fine for what I need) and it worked perfectly.
I've also seen problems where it won't find the internet after the host has been suspended / resumed. In that scenario, it turned out to be bad network drivers. I installed a dedicated Intel NIC (rather than the on-board NIC on the motherboard) - problem solved.
Basically, Hyper-V is a bit fussy.
try refreshing the hyper-v by unchecking and then checking it again,this worked for me.
Steps:
1.control panel>>programs>>Programs and features>>turn windows features on and off>>hyper-v
2.uncheck it and restart the pc.
3.again go to control panel an check hyper-v and restart the pc again.
the try to run the emulator,should work..
another possible reason is that you did not start vs2013 as admin
I'm working with a PocketPC vm for development over here.
I can get the virtual device to connect to the internet, but I can't get it to connect to a web service on my local (host) machine.
I've tried the machine name and my IP address, different ports, but no luck.
Anyone else have this issue?
EDIT: I have an actual device at my machine as well. When docked I don't have this problem with the real device, just the emulated one.
I have not had the specific issue. But, the best way I've found to deal with these issues when using WCF is to enable tracing and see what the error messages are.
If you are connected via ActiveSync, you can connect to the name "ppp_peer".
This name will always resolve to the machine connected via active sync.
Figured it out when I read this article:
http://www.betterthaneveryone.com/archive/2008/08/31/getting-network-access-on-the-windows-mobile-emulator.aspx
The device has to be docked. You need to use the Device Emulator Manager to dock the device. Also note: you can only have one device docked at a given time.
Once the device is docked, you should see the Windows Mobile Device Center display. Find the running device (look for the green arrow), right-click and select Cradle. Remember, only one device can be cradled/docked at a time. If you have a real device that is cradled already, you cannot cradle an emulator.
In Windows Mobile Device Center -> Mobile Device Settings -> Connection Settings: Check "Allow connections to one of the following:" and select DMA in the dropdown.
On the emulator: File->Configure->Network. Make sure a valid network device is selected.
From the emulated OS: Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks. Make both drop-downs My ISP.
That should be it. To test, load Internet Explorer, browse to StackOverflow.com. Next, browse to a web page on your local machine.
