Fedora 12 Cannot Browse Internet

Post by stormeroflezbos »

Windows 7 host, VB 4, Fedora 12 Guest. I have Fedora installed, however I cannot access the internet from my guest. I have tried every network setting. NAT will allow me to ping sites like google, but Firefox will not load any pages. All of the other network settings cannot even ping outside my network. I am trying to test out Amahi, so I need internet access. Thanks.

Could be a lot of things. No information from you on how it is setup. Just that you can't make it work.

Check firewall and virus software.
Post the guests settings. Use NAT and do you have a router in the network?

I reinstalled Fedora 12. After the install I fired up Firefox, at which point my internet access seemed to work fine. However, after installing Amahi the problem came back. So, there is something going on with this package that is causing the problem. I will check the Amahi boards again to see if anyone has any suggestions.
