Access internet with host-only configuration

[virtualrac]

Hello,

I have a windows-host linux-guest environment with host-only configured. How can I access internet within the linux guest by still keeping the host-only configuration?

Thanks a lot for the help.

You can add a second adapter set to NAT.

i currently configured two adapters host-only and internal. I tried to add a third one with NAT. Upon rebooting, the broswer keeps spinning with a blank page. This is different from without the NAT, which is page not found error. Anything else I need to do?

Thanks,

Why do you need the Internal adapter? Is it configured to do anything specific in the guest?
Check for firewall issues host or guest.

yeah i have RAC setup on two vboxes. I verified the firewall on host machine is off. Client side disable firewall is one of the first things I did during the Linux OS install...

Some virus software can cause this issue.
Have you tried normal network tests to see if it is DNS, or other problems?
To test DNS in a browser try the ip address of a web site instead of the url (friendly name)
See if you can ping the ip of your router. Maybe setting the 3rd to Bridged instead of NAT.
