Mac OSX Host - RHEL 6.4 Guest - Virtual Box can't talk to ne

Post by Boyd98 »

This was working, so I'm not sure what I broke.

I can't seem to talk to the outside world with my RHEL guest.

root@app01 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=08:00:27:9F:E5:14
ONBOOT=yes
[root@app01 network-scripts]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:9F:E5:14
inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe9f:e514/64 Scope:Link

RX bytes:88823 (86.7 KiB) TX bytes:101171 (98.7 KiB)

[root@app01 network-scripts]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 192.168.2.38
nameserver 192.168.2.46
nameserver 192.168.2.246

DHCP is giving me a 10. address
resolv.conf is populating correctly

I can't ping by IP, 192.168.2.38
and I can't resolve DNS names, but I think that's because i can't communicate with the DNS server.

Any thoughts are appreciated- I'm stumped

Tried using BRIDGE mode, but worked as NAT before and Bridged mode produces the same exact results. With Bridge Mode, I can ping my host IP, but nothing else.

disregard, had my sysconfig/network default gateway set incorrectly.
