2. Change the VM IP Address.

For example: change 10.0.0.5 on one host and 10.0.0.7 on the other.
Without NVGRE, you would not be able to use the same IP address as the other

VM.

Ensure that you see the WNVNIC interface using the PowerShell command

get-netadapter.

If you are unable to see the NVGRE Ethernet connection, make sure that the

Hyper-V’s control panel/network connections property and advanced property

windows are all closed. The Control Panel renames the NDI/Params registry

keys and causes the policy scripts to be inoperative.

Cleaning Up Outdated Network Adapter Data

1. Start a win32 console window (command prompt).
2. From the command prompt, type

Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

3. Start devmgmt.msc.
4. In the device manager console, go to the view menu and select “Show hidden

devices”.

5. Open the network devices tree view.
6. Uninstall all Emulex entries.
7. Rescan for hardware changes.
8. Uninstall Emulex devices until they are not recognized.
9. Install the new driver.
