Just installed HDP2.4 for VirtualBox following tutorial. Windows 8.
All services tested seem to work fine. Network configuration seems correct from installation (NAT, correct port forwarding, etc.). But I cannot access internet from the sandbox.
I am connecting through a company LAN, so I suppose that may be the reason. I have no problem connecting from my local machine, with network configuration set to "automatically detect settings".
How could I connect to the internet from the sandbox (in order to install certain packages and particularly, install Alluxio)?

Hi Constantin,
I had tried both yesterday to no avail. I got worked it around, though.
Just in case is of use to anyone, it wasn't "internet access", but DNS name resolution where the problem was.
HDP comes with one nameserver only (8.8.8.8, Google's public nameserver) in /etc/resolv.conf. Just added the one closer to me (my company's) and it went through. I don't really know why Google's nameserver isn't reachable - probably some rule in my company's firewall.

Stop your VM and attempt the following Network Settings.
1) Use Attached to NAT

- Enable Network Adapter and Cable Connected should be checked on for your Adapter.
- Start your VM and test. If it does not work go to 2)
2) Use Attached to Bridged Adapter:
- Select the name of the internet adaptor you are currently using on your host machine.
- Under Advanced, make sure the machine is using the Desktop Adaptor Type
- Under Advanced, make sure Promiscuous Mode is set to Allow VMs
- Under Advanced, make sure Cable connected is checked on
- Hit OK to save your changes
- Start your VM and test.
