Help Getting a VM running RHEL 6 in an Isolated Network to Connect to Internet

I currently have an environment of about 5 VMs that are running RHEL 6, a domain controller, and one Windows 7 machine. They are running on an isolated network. What I am trying to do is to get one of the RHEL 6 machines to connect to the Internet so that I can grab repos and the other RHEL machines would be able to grab it from a local share point. I am not well versed in networking so I am not sure how to go about doing this.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hello, this is a vCloud Networking & Security (vCNS) sub-forum.

Do you have a vCNS in your isolated network?

To connect one of your RHEL VM to the Internet, you would need a device/host that connect to the Internet and probably do a NAT for your RHEL VMs.

You can use a firewall, proxy, router, server or a VM based firewall/router such as vCNS, NSX, or a linux router/firewall
