Here's my scenario: my host is a Windows XP, and I have a guest OS of Ubuntu 8.04. I'm using VirtualBox for this.
I have successfully configured my DNS server in my Ubuntu OS. And if I do the following commands, all of them will give me the corresponding IP address of my DNS server.
dig example.com
nslookup ns1.example.com
host ns1.example.com
But when I try to ping my DNS server from the host (Windows XP), it says it cannot find the DNS server. Also, if I try to ping my DNS server from another PC, it does not seem to find the DNS server as well.
Answer
Check that the virtual network adapter is configured as bridged (not NAT)
