I have been getting kubernetes setup on my laptop via minikube and I followed all the examples to the T, especially the part about creating a new external network and referencing that when you create the minikube (go search for a tutorial on setting up minikube on windows and they all say “create an external networkin hyper-v and reference that).

The problem is, if you already have a default external network (or another external network) that also uses the same physical network card then when the minikube virtual machine starts up, hyper-v behaves “erratically”.
