Hi Laurentiu,

Thank you very much for trying it out and giving your feedback. I will have a look at some of those other options.

Cheers

Simon

I don't know how to fix it. I append the error trace and my Vagrantfile. Any help will be appreciated.

I'm not sure what's going on,either. VirtualBox users on Windows have been plagued by DNS problems immediately after centos/7 boots (disabling the NAT DNS resolver is an attempt to work around that). I tried to simulate that by disabling the host networking immediately after running "vagrant up", and that produces the same error message you got.

I don't have access to Windows, so I ran your example on a Mac with VirtualBox 5.2.6, vagrant-vbguest 0.15.1 and centos/7 1801.02. It installed the guest additions and mounted the shared folder via vboxsf. The DNS resolver problems were always restricted to VirtualBox on Windows - it works on Mac and Linux, as do all other hypervisors. I'm afraid I can't help you; perhaps you can try to use our Hyper-V images (Hyper-V is included for free in Windows Professional and higher) or VMware, if that's an option.

Please note that the guest additions aren't really needed. Networking works just fine without them, and you can use Samba or vagrant-sshfs for sharing files:
