its  DNS.

you arent able to resolve ips.

try going to 209.85.175.106 via firefox,

that is google.com

its your nat setup that is not configured correctly  I think.

Try to configure network adapter on guest os (win2k8) is Bridge .

good luck

Maybe a firewall issue - port 80 not allowed? DNS looks ok, because it resolves google.com, when you try to ping it.

Hi,

Check the IP type, Incase the IP type is dynamic chage into static ip and give the correct DNS also.

Otherwise check the DNS Server having some probelms. OR check any proxy settings is block the internet access...

Rishabh,

Set the proxy [port:3128] and check.

Hi,

Try: telnet www.google.co.uk 80 , If it does not say "Connected", you can't make a TCP connection to the web server.

And if it is connected then cross check with any Antivirus application is bolcking the site to open, if so uninstall the antivirus and check it out.
