Try following approach:

On the host in a command line: "ping www.google.com"

This shows you an IP-Adress.

In the guest enter this IP-Adress in a browser.

What happens?

If the site loads with the ip-adress, than you have an dns-problem.

Possible solution: Use ip from your router as dns-server in the guests network settings.
