All of that being said, what is the ip address of the hard nic (eth0?)
on the host machine (ifconfig eth0 on the host os), what is the ip
address of the guest machine's nic (ifconfig or ipconfig depending on
the os), can traceroute or tracert (again, depending on the os) from the
guest to the host ip and what is that route, can you resolve host names
on the guest (nslookup www.yahoo.com)?
