Networking problems

Post by Furjoza »

Hello guys,
Im working in a corp and I need to use VM. Ive decided to use virtualbox. The host is win 8 and the guest is fedora 25. I can access some sites like itDOTmycorponameDOTcom and some other corpo releated sites. I can use dnf (yum) (after applying corpo proxy). I can connect to this VM with ssh after some port forwarding, but I cant access sites like google etc. I can clone from github but I cant access it via browser or ping github. How is it even possible? ^^ Im truly newbie with VMs, actually it is my first contact and I dont even know what information should I post here. Im using NAT network settings. Obviously my host PC can access internet without any problems or proxies but I heard there is some hardware vpn somewhere.

Please can someone explain to me why I have that strangly limited internet conectivity?

I believe you may have answered it yourself. Corp policy. So,
  • you can browse 8.8.8.8 (google), but not google.com?
  • you can ping 8.8.8.8 and you can ping google.com?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
