I am on a company computer with Windows7 installed on it. I installed VirtualBox on it too and installed Ubuntu on this virtual machine.
Now from inside the virtual machine (Ubuntu), I can access the company’s internal websites and I receive replies to my pings to the DNS, gateway, and DHCP servers but I still cannot ping anything outside or access the internet from the web browser.
My configuration is as follows:
- On the host machine, there is one main ethernet adapter and one other host-adapter installed by virtual box. I have the host-adapter on default settings.
- On my guest machine, I only have one ethernet adapter set to default.
Any help is highly appreciated. I have tried just about everything I could think of. Thanks.
The problem was that my company uses a proxy server and I had to define it in the virtual machine. Thanks for the help though.
