When I fire up the virtualbox VM Centos starts as I would expect, but when I try to use yum list updates (or any of several other yum command I've tried) I get a repo error - " Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=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
I looked in the repo.d and the base CentOS-Base.repo suggests that if the mirrorlist= does not work I should try the commented out baseurl= instead. But I don't seem to have nano and can't install it - yum install fails as above.
Ideas?

Does the VirtualBox VM have access to the internet, are there any proxy
setting on the host?
seems so - I have a terminal and can ping out and ftp, the host computer is a home ubuntu box on a wifi network, I'm typing right now on another computer on the same network, I'm not aware of any connectivity issues, I haven't set up any proxy.
