Can't ping from inside to outside; misconfigured DNS

  • 772

I have configured my network inteface according to this guide.

And now I can ping to server from my computer but I can't ping from server to outside world.

Note: I can ping 8.8.8.8

Can anyone explain whats the problem? Maybe because there is no gateway in eth0? but I need to have this configuration to run KVMs.

EDIT:

I think it's a DNS problem. I can ping IPs but I cant ping domains. sorry for misunderstanding.

# ping google.com
ping: unknown host
linux

    Since it is a dns problem put the following in your /etc/resolv.conf:

    nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 209.139.209.33

    That would set up your DNS servers system-wide.
