I have a problem with CentOS 6.4 on Hyper-V. I can't install using yum or ping any DNS address. There is a announcement: Couldn't resolve host 'mirrorlist.centos.org' etc. I've been trying to fix it according to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BZHvVpXsg4 but still nothing. What should I do? yum

ifconfig

ping

Check network ... I use vm-player and add custom-virtual-network ( vmnet bridget )

Type:

ifdown eth0
ifup eth0
yum update

for me works ....
