I'm setting up windows deployment services for LiteTouch Deployments in my home but what I realized was that if I take my actual LAN NIC that is connected to the internet and bridge it to the Hyper-V virtual switch, the VMs that utilize that virtual switch will get internet(which I want so that I can perform Windows Updates on them to get them up to date)but then when I try to PXE boot on my machines I get the error "no boot filename received, exiting boot agent".
If I remove the bridge then I can get LiteTouch to boot fine.
OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter.

You need to create a new internal network in Hyper-V-settings for virtual switches.
A corresponding virtual NIC will show up in your Hyper-V-Hosts network-settings.
On your physical connection, you can then share your internet connection with that virtual NIC using normal internet connection sharing.
You should be aware that this will enable a second DHCP-server in your virtual-machine-network which you very likely do not want. You need to configure a static IP for your new virtual NIC to disable this DHCP-server.
