ping: unknown host yahoo.com

Post by Nayak »

Host OS : Windows 7 Home premium
Guest OS: Oracle linux 6.4


Virtual box version 4.1.12r

The internet on my host OS (Win 7) works fine. I installed oracle linux 6.4 3 days back in the virtual box and internet was working.

Now suddenly i am getting this below error message if i try to ping yahoo.com or ping google.com.

From 192.168.56.71 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable.

ifconfig output:
