wget does not work from inside Linux VM guest hosted by Windows7
801904Apr 1 2012 — edited Apr 4 2012Hello everyone.
I installed OL 6.2 64-bit inside Virtual Box VM which is hosted by Windows7 OS 64-bit desktop.
The environment outside of VM is Windows based (Windows domain, servers, etc)
I configured the Linux VM browser and it works fine in that environment.
I can reach the below address (public-yum) via Linux VM browser and I get the expected username/password prompt from the Mozilla browser, I supply my Windows AD username and password to it and all is well and browising works no problems.
However from the commant line (as root user) I get the following error from wget (and hence the yum will also fail????)
[root@OL62DB yum.repos.d]# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el6.repo
