 ## Windows Hyper-V Build
 
+Before you start the Windows Hyper-V build:
+
+* Disconnect from your corporate VPN.
+* Ensure you are building from a wired connection.
+  * Wireless connections almost always fail because the build is network-intensive.
+* Configure Hyper-V network settings.
+  * The Hyper-V packer build only works if the vagrant VM build machine is directly on the network.
+  * The packer build is configured to auto-select the network named 'External Switch'.
+  * Create a new network switch called 'External Switch'
+  * Ensure the 'External Switch' is set to Bridge Mode.
+  * Ensure you select the wired physical adapter for the 'External Switch'
