Re: VirtualBox 3.1.0 Beta 2 NAT DNS Problem
Does the DNS server on the Guest still exist and is it still valid, compared to the Host? You don't move to a different location or network? Are websites still accessible by IP, like 74.125.79.104 for google.com?

Re: VirtualBox 3.1.0 Beta 2 NAT DNS Problem
Does cat /etc/resolv.conf differs from ipconfig /displaydns output on host? Have you switched your network location?spupuz wrote:yeah dns is the same doing cat /etc/resolv.conf

if yes could you please try
Code: Select all
VBoxManage setextradata "Linux Guest"
"VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/UseHostResolver" 1
