Post by supertux89 »

My host is Ubuntu. I installed an CentOS guest in VBox. My CentOS guest can't go to internet if it used bridged adapter. Please help me!
Here's the result of the "VBoxManage showvminfo" command in my host terminal and the "ifconfig" command in my guest terminal:

First thank you for providing the proper information.

Next I need to know if you have a router in your network.

For some reason CentOS is not picking this up. If you look you have IPV6 but no IPV4 which I would think it what you really want.
I believe you need to check the network setup in CentOS to find out why.
How familiar are you with CentOS, and networking?

I'm just beginning to learn LPI. I had this problem after I had upgraded my linux kernel and run "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" (everythings worked fine b4 that). I've just turned off my pc + router for a while, and the problem's gone! I don't know what happened :shock:
