Centos 5.5 VM has lost internet connection

[DavidA]

Hi

I am running VBox 4.0.8 on a Win 7 host and have a Centos 5.5 guest VM.

The VM has been fine for months now, and I have been able to run yum updates on it, but today I noticed that it has lost its internet connection. If I try to contact our proxy server I get:

"connect: Network is unreachable"

The IP address of the VM is 10.0.2.15.

Last week I configured the VM for port forwarding so that I could connect from the host to the VM using SSH. I used this command:

"\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" modifyvm "RSD_Centos5_5_i386_32_A" --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,2222,,22"

Could this have disabled access to our proxy server in some way?

Sorry, this problem is now fixed. It was not associated with port forwarding.
