Configure NIC ports.

I used to run virtualization using MS Virtual Server 2005. I had two
NIC ports dedicated for the virtual machines. I could open their
properties and uncheck ipv4 so that the NICs would not receive their
own ip addresses while still allowing their attached VMs to maintain
network connectivity.

I have now migrated to Server 2008 running HyperV. I again have two
NIC ports dedicated for the VMs. However, if I turn off ipv4, the VMs
lose their network connectivity. How to I configure the NIC ports so
that they are dedicated to the VMs but do NOT receive their own ip
address through DHCP.

This should be automatic, if you've configured your Virtual Networks
properly (in Virtual Network Manager). When you create a new Virtual
Network, the physical NIC should only have the Microsoft Virtual Network
Switch Protocol checked (in the Properties of the NIC) and the Virtual
Network representation in Network Connections will have the IP properties
for configuration.

Hope this helps,

This entry in Ben's blog might make it easier to see what happens.

If that is the case, if I view the details of the virtual LAN in
network connections, should it display an IP assigned through DHCP? I
may have confused the two connections thinking that the virtual one
was the physical one.

I don't know how to make it any clearer than Ben's explanation with
diagrams. I can only suggest you go back and read it again. It does NOT work
like Virtual Server.
