Hello, @ranjan.k29
Can you please login to VM and try to ping www.google.com? share the o/p

ping google.com
ping : google.com: Name or Service not known
my adapter one is set to NAT

Hello, @ranjan.k29
Enable the Adapter 2 and choose “Host-only Adapter” then in the name section choose “VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter”.
Let me know if it helps.

hi ,
thanks for suggestion here is how it was resolved. i googled a bit and got ping google.com fixed in my VM ( thru nmcli explained below, my ethernet was not active and had to activate , as route -n was giving disconnected o/p) once my ethernet was connected all was good.
route -n (give your rote and active devices)
nmcli -d (runs with root else sudo)
nmtui ( activate ethernet connection)
reboot now( reboot VM)
