CentOS Virtualbox no internet access

I have the following problem:

I have a VM with CentOS installed. From this machine, I can't connect to internet, so I can't upgrade nothing installed on it.

The VM configuration is:

Under Settings -> Network

Adapter 1
- NAT
Adapter 2
- Host-only Adapter
- Name: vboxnet0
- Promiscuous Mode: Deny
- Calbe Connected: true

Under File->Preferences->Network, in Host-only Networks, vbonenet0:

IPv4 Address: 192.168.101.1
Ipv4 Newroks Mask: 255.255.255.0
IPv6 Address: fe80:0000:0000:0000:0800:27ff:fe00:0000
IPv6 Prefix Length: 64

When I'm on the machine:

ifconfig -a

Can someone help me? Thanks for the support.

UPDATE

The default gateway is:

ip r | grep default
default via 192.168.101.2 dev eth1

1Add the IP address of the default gateway to the GATEWAY=<IPAddress> value of the ifcfg-eth0 file and then see if that resolves. You can restart network service with systemctl restart network afterwards to test. – Pimp Juice IT – 2018-06-11T12:30:11.220

@PimpJuiceIT thanks for the answer. I've added GATEWAY=10.0.2.15 and now ping www.google.com says ping: unknown host www.google.com – Bruno Pistone – 2018-06-11T12:45:54.257

Odd, I'm not by my CentOS VM to check and I use Hyper-V for the one VM CentOS 7 machine that's virtualized in my case anyway. I typically use nmtui when I can for network configuration of CentOS machines so see if available in your case in case you see anything that looks obvious but the missing DG looked obvious to me but I'm not a Linux expert either but it's likely a VM network setting causing this I think at least. – Pimp Juice IT – 2018-06-11T12:51:20.620

Ping a IP number, not dns a name. That error means DNS is not working properly. (It's not resolving) check your DNS settings. Ping 8.8.8.8 see what happens. If that works try setting the DNS pointing to your local router – Tim_Stewart – 2018-06-11T13:22:35.787

@Tim_Stewart ping 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. From 192.168.101.129 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable – Bruno Pistone – 2018-06-11T13:30:41.620

1Try adding the route table to your question so run route command and show that output in your question. I wonder if you even need the adapter 2 setup in VirtualBox for the network settings and just having adapter 1 setup with NAT alone would do it? I'd have to test with VirtualBox but perhaps this is something simple you could test with quickly just in case. – Pimp Juice IT – 2018-06-11T14:04:14.963

@PimpJuiceIT I've just added the route command result. thanks – Bruno Pistone – 2018-06-11T14:49:29.280
