Click "start this virtual machine".
Login as " root ".

4. (CentOS) Go to System,Administration,Network.
Click DNS tab then check if you have Primary/Secondary DNS & DNS search path filled.


If those are blank then go to you Windows click Start,Run type cmd click ok then on DOS windows type "ipconfig /all"

Save. then try to browse internet. If doesnt work restart CentOS.

Note: If you want to set Centos IP static, the same as the pattern of you windows IP address click Devices then click etho (make sure it is active) then
click edit, click or tick "Statically set IP addresses" then fill in.

Ex. if your Windows ip is 192.168.0.101 then type 192.168.0.102 or (other IP which is not yet assigned by your router to other computer in your network.)
then just copy your Windows Subnet mask and Default gateway.
Click ok then save and try to browse internet, if doesnt work restart CentOS.

Hope it help
