I have VB running Fedora on a windows 7 host, all is fine and works but when I go to browse over firefox within the VB it only works halfway and what I mean is I can connect to like google/yahoo/facebook - and I have no clue why. But anyway I can "google search/ Yahoo search" just fine (meaning the results show up fine) but when i connect to one the results I get "Firefox cannot find the server @address" I have the network for VB set to NAT.

Am I missing something here?

Moved to Linux guests.

Please read Minimum information needed for assistance and attach the VM log file aswell as the guest config.

Please run the following commands in a terminal in your guest : And the following on your host : Attach the output of theses as a zip file.

I hope I have this right, put posted the attachments as .zips

You did not provide the guest config output, I would need it here as I don't believe you're doing NAT (the IP range doesn't match) and it looks like you're doing bridging on a Wifi link - which cause issue most of the time.

How do I go about getting the guest config output.

At first the network was set to NAT, but then I attempted to try and fiddle around with it a bit in hopes that it would work. I changed it to a wifi adapter because the host IS USING a wifi adapter. both both test yielded the same results. Can do internet searches with results, but not connect to a site directly. I can change it back to NAT if needed.

No need of the guest config, you told me what I needed to know.
But I can't find anything wrong with your setup, except for the Wifi bridging, but that would go away if you use NAT.

Did you disable all firewalls, antivirus, windows protection & the likes?

Yeah, I have tried with the firewall off, avast shields off - It is still the same thing...

Edit:

What about some network settings within the guest os?

Can you just confirm to me what is the supposed IP of your DNS server and the supposed IP of your router? And here I am asking for the supposed one, not the one configured.

192.168.0.1 <- routers
192.168.0.113 < ipv4

is that what you wanted?

Your config has the DNS server set for 192.168.0.254 ,but you tell me your router IP is 192.168.0.1
Any particular reason why is that? If there isn't, you should configure your guest properly.

that probably was and auto-generate thing, 192.168.0.254 is the modem

how would i go about changing it then?

Edit:
I was able to set the address directly in guest to 192.168.0.1 - but still same result

Well I can't see any relevant matter that would make Virtualbox the culprit in here. I definitly see networking issues tho, and I can only point you to seek further support on a networking/linux forum, where you'll find more info, as networking or guest OS config is not in scope of this forum.

Thats cool, thanks for the help!
