dns

My host is running Win 7 ultimate 64bit, ESET NOD32 AV 4.0 (64 bit).

My guest OS is Windows XP Professional (Sp3)

Using bridge mode, I can ping gateway just fine, even ping public dns server (8.8.8.8 or 208.67.222.222). But cannot resolve any dns request.

I tried using nslookup with public dns, my gateway but no good.

I can access my host share file normally thou.

Any suggestions?
