Ping 8.8.8.8: Network is unreachable

Post by Slevin » 2019/09/15 17:16:19

My CentOS 6 is running on VMware Workstation. Network Adapter is set to "Custom: VMnet8 (NAT)"

/etc/resolv.conf:

Code: Select all

search localdomain
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 192.168.0.2nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
Why am i getting that "Network is unreachable" error?

If more info is needed i will be happy to post it

It would appear that your network is not working. You can't ping 8.8.8.8 as your routing isn't correct, maybe on the CentOS side, maybe on VMware.
nameserver 192.168.0.2nameserver 8.8.8.8
Which ever it is, that's a typo and needs fixing.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Thank you for your reply.

I will fix that and update my first post with the VMware- and CentOS network settings
