Hi Guys

I have been struggling with this for the past few days. I have tried everything but can't seem to be able to fix this issue. I have added as much info as possible below.

Issue- the guest os cannot connect to internet.

Identification Unidentified network (public network)

Software version- 4.3.18 r96516

Network configurations:
Adapter 1
Connected to - NAT

You say NAT but your information says host-only.
Host-only does not have Internet capabilities, nor a gateway.

Let me know if I am missing something as all i want to do is to be able to browse internet from guest os

I am confused as well. I assume that the network config you posted is from the host (and looks fine). What is the network config of the guest? What is its IP address and gateway?

some how it was configured to use proxy settings.....

IE -> Settings (Internet Options) -> Connections -> Lan settings -> uncheck use proxy server
