Hyper-v R2 Core

Question
-
Hello!
I have setup a test enviroment with one Hyper-V R2 Core installation running 4 VM. I have only one NIC.
My problem is that occationally the Hyper-V looses network connection. No error messages. I can´t ping to or ping from. I cannot reach the server via RSAT either.
My only option is to restart the Hyper-V server. After that everything will work again, until next time.
I have tested with other Hypervisors like Xenserver and ESXi with the same hardware without such symptom.

Hi,
When you had issue with Hyper-V host, did you have the same issue with virtual machines?
By the way, you may need to disable TCP Offloading to see whether you can resolve the issue.
For more information, you can refer to:

Yes, that was how I first noticed the problem.

Hello, again.
How do I do this: "disable TCP Offloading" on a Hyper-V Core?
