I found these instructions to have jumped too far ahead in the configuration of the virtual machine and was unable to follow them.

Does this method work if I have an ubuntu os for the VM? If so, what’s the command line to change the static IP in ubuntu?

In reply to bhavik. You can assign any IP address from Class A, B or C but I would recommend class C address. For example, you can use 192.168.150.x. Replace x with any digit between 1 and 254. Assign two different IP addresses of the same class to your host and the VM. For example, you can assign 192.168.150.150 to the host adapter and 192.168.150.151 to the VM adapter.

In reply to John. John this is only an example. I did it to test on my virtual machine. You can assign any IP addressing scheme of your choice.

Is there any reason you choose 192.168.13.12 for the gateway and DNS? Would think neither of those would need to be set.

Thanks for your notes. I could share files with the VM

I was able to copy a file to a VM by enabling the VM Guest services in Hyper-V Manager (version 10.0.16299.15), using the Copy-VMFile command in PowerShell as Administrator from the host (Windows 10 Pro v1709), and then disabling VM Guest services.
