unable to ping or access websites on ubuntu 18.4LTS on Virtual box

[rahimmawani]

Hey guys

total newbie here, got fed up with windows world and gone over to the dark side

yesterday i installed ubuntu 18.4 LTS on a Virtual box with bridge connections.

it seems i can ping ip addresses internally, ping with ip addresses externally but when i try and resolve hostnames or websites, i cant

I know 18.4 uses netplan and this is how it the 50-cloud-init.yaml file is configured for static ip address.

network:
   version: 2
   renderer: networkd
   ethernets:
         enp0s3:
           dhcp4: no
           addresses: [192.168.0.200/24]
           gateway4: 192.168.0.1
           nameservers:
             addresses: [8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]

any help will be appreciated as i begin my journey into linux world

Thanks
Rahim

Hello!

yaml is very strict about 2 space indentations. That is part of its specification.

Try cleaning up your indentation as a start.

Cheers!

thanks and noted

still no joy...im assuming its not a dns issue as it is resolving address, just not pinging them

what else am i missing
thanks
