Hi

You should at least tell us what virtualization platform are you using on your Winblowse box. If it's VirtualBox then check on your VM networking configs "put a mark on enable network Adapter" and chose "Attached to NAT". See if that works.

I m using VMare platform. I hv played with network adaptor configuration. I hv checked with NAT as well with bridged connection. But still it does n't work.

See what sudo ifconfig command returns.

See what the command nslookup or dig returns for www.linuxquestions.org

I really need to learn the ip command.

Following are the results of running those commands :
