Hey everyone,
I have a strange problem I can't figure out. Not sure exactly what caused it either but it was likely me installing the virtualbox guest additions.
Using VirtualBox 4.3.16
Kali with the latest upgrade & dist-upgrade
Using only my virtual NAT adapter on Eth0 either from a fresh boot or from a "dhclient eth0" I can ping out to the internet via an IP address (such as 8.8.8.8) but I cannot resolve any DNS hosts (I.E. "ping google.com" does not work). I have tried manually setting the DNS server in resolv.conf. On the physical side I have tried wireless connections to my corporate network and my phones hotspot along with a wired connected to a private NATed network; I get the same results regardless of what real network I am using and resolv.conf appears to be updating with correct hosts each time.
Within Virtual Kali if I connect a USB wireless card and use Kali to directly connect to an AP I can resolve the hosts without any issues. It is as if VB's NAT function is blocking DNS. Any idea how to fix that?
