Hortonworks Sandbox for Hyper-V on Windows 8

This instructions will guide you to properly run Hortonworks Sandbox Hyper-V on windows 8.


1. First download the sandbox here make sure click the Sandbox for Hyper-V.

2. Follow the instructions here (pre-requisites also included here on how to enable Hyper-V on Windows 8)

3. When the VM host and running you will see window just like the image below:

but when using "http://192.168.56.101/ nothing happens. (display using chrome browser)

Solution: Open up your sandbox connection and change the IP using the subnet range as the Hortonworks default IP address.

Upon applying the changes you should now be able to browse the Hortonworks SandBox registration page.

I hope this instructions save you time.

I'm always face to this problem more often so I've decided to write it down.

This scenario occurs whenever my staging servers restarted and when I'm publishing my solution.

My solution to this is just to log a user with admin privileges to the server so that it will established connection to my domain.

This fix works for me everytime.
