Unable to ping gateway and no internet - installed on VM

Post by ragschalla » 2018/08/03 05:51:52

Hi Everyone,

This is my 1st query in this forum. I installed VMWARE and deployed Centos (centos-release-6-4.el6.centos.10.x86_64).

1) I am unable to ping my defined gateway
2) Unable to ping 8.8.8.8
3) Unable to perform "yum update"

I have read many posts regarding this and tried many ways but no luck. Someone please assist me. Below are the required configuration details.

[root@twiki network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
USERCTRL=no
IPV6INIT=no
BOOTPROTO=static
PEERDNS=yes
IPADDR=10.1.10.129
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.1.10.1


[root@twiki network-scripts]# cat /etc/resolv.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search localdomain
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4


Please let me know if any more information is required.

Why would you do such a thing? That's like saying you installed Windows 98 in 2018. CentOS 6.4 is 5 years old and absolutely riddled with security bugs. Update to 6.10 ASAP and next time, install 6.10 from scratch.

What networking mode did you choose for the guest on the VMWare side of things? What model of network card did you tell VMWare to emulate for the guest - the best is an Intel e1000 card.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
