PYCURL ERROR 6 - "Couldn't resolve host 'mirrorlist.centos.org'"

Hello every one;

I just instaled Centos 6.4 at modal Minimal in VirtualBox, so when I try to run
yum update I get this error:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?releas...h=i386&repo=os error was
14: PYCURL ERROR 6 - "Couldn't resolve host 'mirrorlist.centos.org'"
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base

Researching I've got some recommendations but none have solved the problem.
The steps I followed are:
1. - Edit / etc / resolv.conf
nameserver8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4 nameserver
nameserver 127.0.0.1
2. - Edit / etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO = dhcp
NM_CONTROLLED = no
ON_BOOT = yes
3. - Eth0 ifup and dhclient eth0

Anyone have any other ideas of how to solve the issue?

data:
OS: Centos 6.4 32bit
Installed on: VirtualBox
Network type: NAT
team:
HP Pavilion g Series
x64 CPU
3GB RAM

Thanks a lot it advance.

how about the output of:

Code:

ping mirrorlist.centos.org

ping 8.8.8.8

nslookup mirrorlist.centos.org

cat /etc/resolv.conf

cat /etc/hosts

at first glance, it seems like your resolv.conf file is incorrect. there is supposed to be a space between nameserver and the ip.

Code:

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Hello szboardstretcher;

Thanks a lot for your reply; I allready resolved the issue, it was at the network configuration.

I add an staticIP, gateway, dns and ready...

Thanks again...

Trying other mirror.

Hope you have tried a lot of ways and finally found the solution. It would be of great help, if you could share and guide me.

Thanks in advance.

if this is RHEL 6.5 then call redhat tech support
it is one of the benefits of that REQUIRED support contract
or
install CentOS 6.5

Thanks for the response
