Guest has no Internet connection & hence subscription failure for RHEL

Post by Chetan »

Hi,

I am new to virtualbox & would appreciate some help.

I have Windows 10 host & installed Virtual box 5.x with RHEL 7.3 as the guest.
I wanted to setup shared folder so that i can install items but needed to subscribe first. When tried to subscribe, got

Tried to register RHEL guest using command "subscription-manager register --username=**** --password=**** --auto-attach"but got "Network error, unable to connect to server. Please see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log for more information." error.

As per some posts, learned that i have no internet connection inside the guest.

If anyone has encountered similar issue, i would really help.

Requirement:
Access shared folder on windows host so that i can copy installation items to linux guest and install.
Also if i could get direct internet connection on the linux guest, it would be good as well. For this if I have to register/subscribe , instructions reference would be appreciated as well.
