Unable to connect guest VM to internet (QEMU via both 'User-mode networking' and 'TUN/TAP')

Linux and Unix-Like Linux
1

Hello, I installed FreeBSD 10.3 on AQEMU. I can't connect to internet in none
of the modes of "Default, User-Mode Networking" and "TUN/TAP Networking".

I am able to ping my host in the TAP networking mode (192.168.1.33 which is my
IP addr in guest), but getting 'no route to host' for any outside address and
the fetch utility (similar to wget) does not work. I have done instructions in
below web link for TAP networking:

I am also able to ping 10.0.2.15 and 192.168.1.255 in the default User mode
networking.

For me, no matter which method I use. But I will happy if it done via default
mode (User mode network stack).

Thanks for the guidance.

I installed Oracle VirtualBox v4.3.36 and only ticked "NAT Networks" which is default mode from:

File Menu -> Preferences -> Network

then installed FreeBSD on it and it can connected to internet without any problem, altough it has some limitation which of cource these limitations normally don't affect normal network use:

Thanks to SUN Microsystems and Oracle Corporation.

I changed "DNS nameserver" on FreeBSD from:

#bsdconfig
-> Networking Management -> DNS nameservers

and changed it from 127.0.0.1 to 10.0.2.3

problem solved! on VirtualBox I did not have to deal with this problem. I think this problem was created by me, because several times when my modem was turned off I configured ethernet interface on FreeBSD with enabling and disabling DHCP, I'm not sure, just likely.
