Windows 8 Hyper-v - enable networking and remote connection - hyper-v

I have a vhd file, I need to enable networking and remote connection on it. On the vhd is installed Windows Server 2008 R2 and SharePoint development platform, VS 2010 ...
My laptop runs Windows 8 x64 Hyper-v. I can run the vhd into the hyper-v and works great, no problem. But I have no idea about hyper-v configuration and settings.
I want to desktop remote connect (from Windows 8) to the vhd file running Windows Server 2008 R2 (domain contoso.com) but I don't know how to configure the hyper-v to allow the network connection ... if I start the remote desktop connect on my Windows 8 and type the server name or domain\server ... it doen't work.
Any idea how to configure the hyper-v so I can have internet access in the VHD and connect to it using remote desktop connection?

I am guessing you are using a Wi-Fi connection on your laptop. Hyper-V does not automatically use wi-fi connections, since it's a server technology and all.
But there are ways - here's an article from a MS dude explaining how to use a switch to bridge your wi-fi.

It's possible ?
It is not possible. Windows 7 simply does not know about all things that are available in Windows Server 2012 and beyond.

Cannot connect to any remote database after upgrade to Windows 10

After upgrading a Windows 10, cannot connect to any remote db in this case using SSMS
I have installed TMG client and the port are open, other developers with Windows 7 can connect to the database, this only happens to the developers that have Windows 10
Any idea about this issue?
From my googling, a common theme for this is that when the connection to the remote database is in the format {Server Name}\{Instance Name}, Windows 10 throws a fit and won't allow the connection.
Instead, try {Server IP Address}\{Instance Name}.

Windows Server 2008 on VPC (Host: Win 7)?

Is it possible to test Windows 2008 server via VPC when my host of a Windows 7 machine? I don't see anywhere where it says this is possible? The only VPC images (Windows 2008 R2) that I download from Microsoft state that the host machine must be Windows 2008. Is there an alternative?
Guess I got my answer here - http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/virtualization/q-does-windows-virtual-pc-in-windows-7-support-64-bit-guest-oss-.aspx
Virtual PC in Windows 7 does not support 64-bit guest OSs which is what Windows 2008 Server is :(

Connecting to SQL server from Virtual PC

I have VS 2008 and SQL Server 2005 Developer edition installed on my desktop. I have a instance of XP running in Virtual PC and want to connect to the dev instance. I am logged on as a domain user on both the desktop and the Virtual instance of XP. When I try to connect I get a message saying "Server does not exist or access denied". What do I need to do to connect. I am using trusted connection and the userid has privileges on the DB.

Make sure that the VPC is not using NAT for its network connection.
Also check your configuration to be sure remote connections are allowed. Remote connection is turned off by default.
Have you tried pinging your desktop from the virtual instance? I had the same problem and figured out that the firewall was preventing any kind of communication between both machines.
I found out that you have to go into the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool and set "Remote Connections" to "Local and remote connections". Apparently the default is "Local connections only".
I encountered the same thing, sort of - MS Server 2003 and SQLServer 2008 Ent running on VMWare, and get the "Server does not exist or access denied" when trying to connect from host machine (on Vista x64).
SO, do you reckon changing to "Local and remote connections" via the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool will do the trick?
For me despite configuring the SQL server for Remote Connections also, I could not access the sql server from Win XP VM.
So when I disabled the windows firewall from host machine, it worked fine!!
