At the risk of straying OT, the platform choice depends on the 
application.   If I'm putting in a box with several BlueOnyx hosts on 
it, then for me Aventurin{e} is really the only way to go.   The 
interface is familiar, the features are all there, and it "just works".

In a mixed environment, I'm all over VMware ESXi.  So far the only thing 
I've found that hasn't migrated across to it properly is an old FC5 box 
running a goofy customer application.   (To clarify, the application is 
goofy, I like the customer just fine.)   But any version of Windows, 
*nix, *BSD that I've tried has been fine.

That said, I know that now Aventurin{e} supports KVM virtualization, 
which may be rather compelling...

My limited experience with HyperV has been a disappointment, to be kind. 
  I know I have colocation customers using it, and some of them are 
using it because they think they have to in order to run Windows <sigh> 
or because they're afraid to stray outside the Windows environment, and 
others for various and potentially legitimate reasons.  Based on my 
experience, I can't think of any reason to be shackled to it.  To be 
fair, my experience was some time ago with an early release.  Perhaps 
things have improved.

Back to the OP's issue at hand, my instinct says look at the network 
configuration on the hypervisor.  My guess is you'll find something out 
of whack there.
