The VM either has no valid nameserver defined or it cannot be reached.

What is the content of
/etc/resolv.conf

and which type of networking did you choose for this VM?
NAT, bridged, host-only,...?

[Dias]

- Network: Bridged
- here is my resolv.conf file

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
search localhost

[Irithori]

Ok, these are the google nameservers.
Free to use, but google essentially knows where you go and when on the net.

What happens if you send requests to them?
This should happen:

$ host www.ibm.com 8.8.8.8
Using domain server:
Name: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
Aliases: 

www.ibm.com is an alias for www.ibm.com.cs186.net.
www.ibm.com.cs186.net has address 129.42.58.216

ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com

1) diagnose
2) fix


I have no idea yet, what´s wrong. Hence the questions.
Maybe the vm has a wrong or missing default gw,
maybe a fw is in the way,
etc

[Irithori]

hmm, can you ping the IPs?

[Dias]

- I can ping Lan IP and:

ping 46.4.147.87
PING 46.4.147.87 (46.4.147.87) 56(84) bytes of data

Ping take a long time...

[Irithori]

Ping has a statistic in the end.
How many percent packet loss do you have, if at all?

But actually I meant: Can you ping the google nameserver IPs?

$ ping -c 5 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.

PING 46.4.147.87 (46.4.147.87) 56(84) bytes of data

That is all the system reply

I think i can ping 8.8.8.8

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data

One line and it stop...
